Summary

Acres Green Elementary School is a PK–6 public school in Littleton, Colorado, serving 341 students within the Douglas County School District No. Re 1, a 5-star district ranked 6th in Colorado. The school earned a 3-star ranking (380th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools) in 2025–2026, up from 2 stars the previous year, and has the lowest student-teacher ratio in its area at 13.6. At the same time, its students face more economic challenges than most neighbors: 36.7% qualify for free/reduced lunch, compared to single digits at several nearby high-performing schools.

Acres Green's academics are moderate relative to state averages but well below its own district and most nearby schools. In 2025–2026 CMAS testing, 39.7% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (63.8% district, 44.7% state) and 44.1% in math (57.2% district, 37.3% state). Nearby schools post dramatically higher results: Lone Tree Elementary reached 76.4% ELA proficiency and Redstone Elementary 77.6%. Math is a relative strength — Acres Green has topped the state math average for four straight years — while literacy is a clear weakness. The largest gaps are in 3rd and 4th grade math; by 5th and 6th grade, math proficiency nearly matches the district average. Science also jumped from 33.3% to 50% proficiency in one year.

Chronic absenteeism is a major challenge: 21.8% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, far above Willow Creek Elementary (5.6%) and Dry Creek Elementary School (7.3%). The schools with similar free/reduced lunch rates — Eagle Ridge Elementary School and Walnut Hills Community Elementary School — also underperform the cluster, suggesting poverty and attendance are significant factors. Still, Acres Green is surrounded by strong schools like Platte River Charter Academy and Wildcat Mountain Elementary School, creating real opportunities to learn from nearby success. With recent gains in ranking and test scores, plus more staff per student than any neighbor, the school has genuine momentum. Reducing absenteeism and strengthening early-grade literacy and math are the clearest next steps.
