Summary

Weikel Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Colorado Springs, CO, serving 814 students as part of Fountain School District No. 8. It is the largest elementary school in its immediate area and currently ranks 593rd out of 943 Colorado elementary schools (37th percentile, 2 stars) — placing it in the lower-middle tier statewide, though it remains the highest-ranked elementary school within its own district.

Within the Fountain 8 district, Weikel outperforms its closest peers. Its ELA proficiency rate of 39.4% and math rate of 29.7% both exceed district averages of 35% and 26.9%, and it leads nearby Patriot Elementary, Mountainside Elementary, and Abrams Elementary in both subjects. The school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency (42.7%) also tops the state average (40.8%), a sign that early literacy instruction is a relative strength. However, upper-grade performance is more concerning: 5th-grade math proficiency sits at just 23.7% compared to the state's 39.3%, and only 19.7% of 5th graders are proficient in science — a sharp drop from 38.8% the previous year and well below the state average of 36.1%.

The picture is more mixed when comparing Weikel to schools just a few miles away in other districts. Widefield Elementary of the Arts, Pinon Valley Elementary, and Cheyenne Mountain Elementary all rank in the 71st, 86th, and 91st percentiles respectively — well ahead of Weikel's 37th. Weikel has also experienced a troubling increase in chronic absenteeism, jumping from 11.9% to 26.2% in a single year, and its 19.0 student-teacher ratio is the highest in the comparison group. The school has declined from its 73rd-percentile ranking in 2018-2019, and despite a lower free/reduced lunch rate (32.3%) than most nearby schools, it has not translated that advantage into higher achievement. Overall, Weikel is a solid choice within its district, but families comparing across district lines will find higher-performing options nearby.
