Summary

Beattie Elementary School is a PK-5 elementary school in Fort Collins, CO, serving 302 students in Poudre School District R-1, a 5-star district ranked 12th among 115 districts in Colorado. Beattie itself is a solidly above-average school: it currently holds 4 stars and ranks in the 75th percentile of Colorado elementary schools, placing it 236th out of 943 statewide. About half of Beattie's students qualify for free/reduced lunch, yet the school outperforms the state in both English Language Arts and Math. Beattie has also shown steady improvement over the past decade, rising from the 38th percentile in 2015-16 to its current standing.

English Language Arts is Beattie's clearest strength. In 2025-26, 64.3% of students scored proficient in ELA, well above the state average of 44.7% and above the district average of 60.1%. This is particularly notable given that nearby schools like Johnson Elementary School and Shepardson Elementary School post similar scores while serving fewer students in poverty. Math is the area where Beattie lags: 49.6% proficiency is above the state but below the district, while nearby McGraw Elementary School and O'Dea Elementary School both exceed 60%. Fifth-grade science also dipped to 41.7% after two strong years, a drop that may partly reflect the particular group of students in that grade.

Beattie shows distinctive strengths with boys and economically disadvantaged students, who perform well compared to their peers statewide. Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, falling from 28.1% to 22.1% in a single year—now better than the district average, though still above the best-performing nearby schools. With a student-teacher ratio of 15.4, class sizes are typical for the area. Overall, Beattie is a strong, improving school that does particularly good work in literacy and with its highest-need students. If it can apply the same success to math and stabilize its science scores, it has a realistic path toward the top tier of an already excellent district.
