Summary

Ellicott Elementary School serves 520 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Calhan, Colorado, a small rural community east of Colorado Springs, and is part of the Ellicott School District No. 22. The district ranks in the bottom 15th percentile of Colorado districts, and the school itself sits at the 31st percentile statewide — a decline from the mid-50th percentile range it held between 2015 and 2018.

Ellicott outperforms its own district in both reading and math: 32.4% of students are proficient in English language arts and 25.4% in math, compared with 30.8% and 18.5% districtwide. Still, the school lags far behind nearby schools in Colorado Springs' District 49. For context, Meridian Ranch Elementary ranks at the 82nd percentile, Woodmen Hills Elementary at the 70th, and Inspiration View Elementary at the 68th. Ellicott's results more closely resemble rural neighbors like Calhan Elementary (31.5% ELA, 19.2% math) and Miami/Yoder Elementary (35.5% ELA). Direct comparisons to D49 schools should account for poverty: 57.5% of Ellicott students qualify for free or reduced lunch, versus roughly 27–33% at most D49 schools.

The school does have bright spots, including a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.8 and a relative strength in math compared with its district. Fifth-grade science proficiency (32.2%) also sits close to the state average of 36.1%. However, challenges remain: chronic absenteeism jumped from 19.9% to 25.9% in a single year, and the school's statewide ranking has trended downward for nearly a decade. Proficiency also swings sharply by grade level — 4th grade reading nearly matches the state average, while 3rd and 5th grade reading lag far behind. In addition, certain student subgroups perform well below their peers statewide, underscoring the equity concerns facing the school.
