Summary

Rudy Elementary School serves 385 students in grades PK–5 in the eastern part of Colorado Springs, within the Colorado Springs School District No. 11. The school holds a 3-star rating and currently ranks at the 53rd percentile statewide—a solid mid-range performance that makes it a standout among nearby D11 elementary schools. About 54% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 31.8% is well below the D11 district average of 45.8%.

For families comparing schools, Rudy's advantage over its closest D11 neighbors is striking. Carver Elementary, Penrose Elementary, and Keller Elementary—all within two miles—are 1-star schools ranking in the 3rd to 25th percentile statewide. Rudy's ELA proficiency (43.7%) is more than double that of Carver (16.7%) and Penrose (24.4%), and its math proficiency (42.9%) is roughly double all three. However, just across the boundary into El Paso County Colorado School District 49, families have higher-performing options. Springs Ranch Elementary (67th percentile), Remington Elementary (69th percentile), and Stetson Elementary (67th percentile) all outrank Rudy, with lower poverty rates and lower chronic absenteeism.

Rudy's biggest academic strength is math, where 42.9% of students are proficient—above the state average of 37.3%. Science is a notable weakness, with just 28.8% of 5th graders proficient. The school has experienced a steady four-year decline: math proficiency dropped 13.2 points and ELA 10.4 points since 2022–2023, while chronic absenteeism rose from 26.2% to 31.8%. The current 3rd grade cohort appears especially vulnerable, with proficiency below state averages in both subjects. On a positive note, the student-teacher ratio improved from 19.3 to 14.7, and Rudy remains a critical neighborhood anchor for D11 families seeking strong academics in this part of Colorado Springs.
