Summary

Rogers Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with an enrollment of 280 students. The school is part of the Colorado Springs School District No. 11, which is ranked 77 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small size, Rogers Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Colorado elementary schools over the past decade, with a current statewide rank of 883 out of 950 schools. The school faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates, well-below-average test scores, and an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 73.47% to 80% over the past 3 years. When compared to nearby schools like Twain Elementary and Columbia Elementary, Rogers Elementary consistently underperforms in key metrics.

The relatively low student-teacher ratio at Rogers Elementary, ranging from 12.7 to 15.5 over the past 3 years, may suggest that the school faces challenges in terms of staffing and resources, which could be impacting its ability to effectively support student learning. Despite these challenges, Rogers Elementary has been a persistently low-performing school for many years, with little evidence of meaningful improvement over time. Addressing the underlying issues at Rogers Elementary will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to support the unique needs of its students and community.

Open Quote My son has been going to this school for almost two full school years. EVERY SINGLE ADMINISTRATOR AND TEACHER WE HAVE DEALT WITH ARE MORONS. They lie, they’re lazy, and when your child encounters issues(which they will) all you will ever get is confused looks and a pre filled out form response that just generically attempts to cover them from a legal standpoint. The current principal is more concerned with meeting metrics and bringing in more money, than she is with the education of any student. You have to write letters/call the school board and the state for them to take you seriously. Even then they just go into “damage control” and still nothing happens. Close Quote
