Summary

Beach Court Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Denver, CO, serving 275 students in School District No. 1, where roughly 89–90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting a very high-poverty community. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Colorado elementary schools, earning a 1-star rating for the 2025–2026 school year with an 11th percentile ranking (837th out of 943 schools statewide).

Academically, Beach Court Elementary School lags well behind district and state averages. In 2025–2026, only 23.3% of students were proficient in English Language Arts and 17.3% in Math, compared to district rates of 42.5% and 35.0% and state rates of 44.7% and 37.3% — roughly 20-percentage-point gaps in both subjects. Within the immediate area, Beach Court actually outperforms some of its highest-poverty neighbors like Garden Place Academy (22.9% ELA, 13.6% Math) and Columbian Elementary School (14.0% ELA, 11.9% Math). However, the contrast with nearby Edison Elementary School — which ranks in the 97th percentile with 76.1% ELA and 72.4% Math proficiency — is dramatic.

Chronic absenteeism is a serious concern, with 46.3% of students missing enough school to be considered chronically absent — far above the district rate of 38.1% and state rate of 28.4%. Math is a particular weakness, especially in 4th grade where only 12.5% of students are proficient. While the school showed promising gains in 2024–2025, those improvements were not sustained in 2025–2026. The most urgent opportunities for improvement appear to be reducing chronic absenteeism and building more consistent math instruction in the middle elementary grades.
