Summary

Eyestone Elementary School is a public elementary school in Wellington, Colorado, serving 652 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Poudre School District R-1, which is ranked 14 out of 115 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Eyestone Elementary has seen a steady increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 26.93% in 2021-2022 to 41.26% in 2023-2024, the school's academic performance has been a concern. Eyestone's test scores on the CMAS assessments are generally lower than the district and state averages, with proficiency rates of 49.8% in ELA and 44.7% in Math, compared to the district's 60.4% in ELA and 52.2% in Math. Additionally, the school has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.7% to 34.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Poudre School District, Eyestone Elementary generally performs below average. For example, Dunn Elementary and Tavelli Elementary, which are both within 10 miles of Eyestone, consistently outperform Eyestone on CMAS assessments and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. Eyestone's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting that the school is struggling to keep pace with other elementary schools in the state.
