Summary

Aragon Elementary School is a pre-kindergarten through fifth grade school in Fountain, Colorado, serving 358 students as part of Fountain School District No. 8, a district ranked 80th out of 115 Colorado districts. Aragon Elementary School itself ranks 769th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools for the 2025–2026 school year, placing it in the 18th percentile with a one-star rating — the bottom fifth of elementary schools statewide. The school serves a high-poverty population, with 74.9% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and it struggles with severe chronic absenteeism: 45% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, well above the district rate of 30.2% and the state rate of 28.4%.

Academically, Aragon lags behind both its district and the state in every tested subject, and math is the most urgent concern. Only 13.0% of Aragon students are proficient in math, compared with 26.9% in the district and 37.3% statewide; fourth grade math proficiency is just 9.3%. Math scores have fallen sharply in recent years, dropping from 24.0% in 2023–2024 to 13.0% in 2025–2026, even as the district average improved. English language arts proficiency stands at 30.2%, and fifth grade science at 26.4%. Aragon is also the lowest-performing school among all nearby comparison schools. Jordahl Elementary, less than 1.5 miles away, ranks in the 67th percentile with 54.4% math proficiency, and Eagleside Elementary ranks in the 45th percentile with 31.0% math proficiency — both far outpacing Aragon despite being in the same area.

Class sizes do not explain the gap; Aragon's student-teacher ratio of 15:1 is comparable to nearby schools. Long-term trends show Aragon has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Colorado elementary schools for a decade, with no sustained period of strong performance. Given the combination of critically low math achievement, an attendance crisis affecting nearly half of students, and outcomes below neighboring schools serving similar communities, Aragon would likely benefit most from intensive math intervention, attendance recovery efforts, and additional support for students who are falling behind.

I wouldn’t recommend. Some teachers are amazing. Some are not. Student support is not there, bullying is a big thing. When confronted with issue student is immediately told what they did wrong in order to add to the issue. Parents arnt met with a concern but rather also blaming the bullied student for whatever they did wrong and saying it contributes. They will also punish the said bullied parent by pulling them from recess ect. Students don’t feel supported, nor do parents. They will meet with you with more then one person while your alone and team up on you. By far my worst experience in a school as a parent, and worst for my children as students. I’m highly disappointed in the way they handle said issues. Bullying students, and partially bullying staff. Close Quote
