Summary

Scott Elementary School is a PK–5 school in northeastern Colorado Springs serving 458 students within Colorado Springs School District No. 11, a district that ranks 66th out of 115 in Colorado. Despite that backdrop, Scott stands out: it ranks 306th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools (68th percentile, 3 stars) as of 2025–2026. The school serves a moderately high-needs population — 44.1% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, up from 34% two years earlier — yet its student-teacher ratio of 15.9:1 and chronic absenteeism rate of 29.0% are both healthier than district averages.

Academically, Scott outperforms its district and the state by wide margins. Proficiency in ELA is 52.0% (vs. 36.9% district and 44.7% state), math is 50.7% (vs. 32.1% and 37.3%), and 5th-grade science is 43.8% (vs. 27.0% and 36.1%). Scores climb as students progress: ELA proficiency rises from 39.4% in 3rd grade to 66.2% in 5th grade, and math from 46.5% to 57.8%. Among nearby schools, Scott (68th percentile) trails Freedom Elementary (81st) and Ridgeview Elementary (75th), but beats Martinez Elementary (62nd), King Elementary (59th), and Keller Elementary (25th) — and outperforms two Academy School District No. 20 schools, Prairie Hills and Frontier, despite that district's 91st-percentile statewide ranking.

Scott's standout results are for student groups that often underperform elsewhere. Hispanic students rank 17th out of 249 schools statewide (93rd percentile, 5 stars), and low-income students rank 75th out of 319 (76th percentile, 4 stars). Attendance is a major plus: chronic absenteeism is nearly 17 points below the district's 45.8%. The clearest concern is gifted/talented students, who rank at the 15th percentile, suggesting high-ability learners may not be challenged enough. Science scores have also drifted downward from 57.7% in 2022–2023, and the school's overall percentile has slipped from 75th to 68th. Still, Scott remains one of the stronger, more consistent elementary options in its area, especially given its demographic profile.
