Mammoth Heights Elementary

Summary:

Mammoth Heights Elementary is a public elementary school in Parker, Colorado, serving 649 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Douglas County School District No. Re 1, which is ranked 5 out of 116 districts in the state. While the school generally performs below the district and state averages in CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) tests for English Language Arts, Math, and Science, its performance is not an outlier within the local area.

Mammoth Heights Elementary had 54.1% of students proficient or better in CMAS English Language Arts, compared to 62.3% for the district and 44.1% for the state. In CMAS Math, the school had 52.4% proficient or better, on par with the district's 52.3% but above the state's 34.2%. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.9% is significantly higher than the state average. Nearby Parker Core Knowledge Charter School and North Star Academy outperform Mammoth Heights in both test scores and chronic absenteeism.

While some nearby public schools like Gold Rush Elementary and Prairie Crossing Elementary School perform better than Mammoth Heights, others like Cherokee Trail Elementary School and Pine Lane Elementary have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the performance of Mammoth Heights is part of a more mixed picture of elementary school performance in the area, and its higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients may be a contributing factor to its relatively lower academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
