Summary

King Elementary School is a small PK–5 public school in Colorado Springs School District No. 11, serving 270 students with a student-teacher ratio of 14.2. The school has climbed steadily to the 59th percentile statewide (390 out of 943 Colorado elementary schools), earning a 3-star rating—a remarkable recovery from the 25th percentile during the pandemic-disrupted 2020–2021 school year. King now ranks well above its own district, which sits at the 43rd percentile, and is one of the stronger-performing schools in the area. Its fifth consecutive year of improvement suggests the gains are not a fluke but part of a sustainable upward trend.

King's strongest subject is math. In 2025–2026, 49.6% of students were proficient in math, far exceeding the district's 32.1% and the state's 37.3%. Third-grade math was especially strong at 63.6% proficiency. This math performance is competitive with nearby Academy School District No. 20 schools—a higher-ranked, 91st-percentile district—where schools like Academy Endeavour Elementary (47.3%), Frontier Elementary (34.6%), and High Plains Elementary (30.1%) all trail King, and only Pioneer Elementary (50.0%) slightly edges it out. ELA is also solid, with 47.8% proficiency versus the district's 36.9%. Science is the relative weak spot: 5th-grade CMAS science proficiency was just 28.6%, roughly matching the district but below the state's 36.1%.

The most striking finding is King's exceptional effectiveness with economically disadvantaged students. Despite a free/reduced lunch population of 58.5%, King ranked 14th out of 365 Colorado elementary schools for low-SES student outcomes—the 96th percentile, earning a 5-star rating. This success is not driven by an advantaged student body; quite the opposite. The main concern is chronic absenteeism: 42.1% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, higher than many nearby schools like Scott Elementary (29.0%) and Martinez Elementary (27.5%), though better than the D11 district average of 45.8%. Given its upward trajectory, strong math program, and standout results for low-income students, King is a compelling choice within D11, but families should watch attendance trends closely.
