Summary

Giberson Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Colorado Springs, Colorado, serving 291 students as part of Harrison School District No. 2, a district that currently ranks in the bottom quarter of Colorado districts. The school serves a predominantly low-income community, with 77.3% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Giberson's test scores remain below district and state averages, but the school showed meaningful improvement in 2025-26: on the most recent CMAS assessments, 21.9% of students met or exceeded expectations in ELA and 17.5% in math, up sharply from 10.2% and 9.3% the previous year.

The school's statewide rank jumped from the 2nd percentile to the 12th percentile, a significant recovery after several very difficult years in the bottom 2–3% of Colorado schools. Still, Giberson trails nearby schools like Soaring Eagles Community School (51st percentile) and Turman Elementary School (46th percentile) by a wide margin. Grade-level results show unevenness: 4th-grade math proficiency is just 10%, while 4th-grade ELA reaches 30%, and 5th-grade ELA drops to 11.8%.

On the positive side, Giberson has a relatively favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.2:1, lower than many nearby schools including James Irwin Elementary School - Astrozon (20.9:1) and Wildflower Elementary School (15.0:1). Chronic absenteeism is a concern, with 33.5% of students missing enough school to be considered chronically absent, compared to just 8.4% at James Irwin. Giberson serves a high-poverty population, but several nearby schools such as Centennial Elementary School (87.7%) and Carmel Community School (87.6%) serve even higher-poverty populations. The 2025-26 improvement suggests the school may be stabilizing, and with relatively small class sizes and nearby examples of higher performance, there is reason for cautious optimism.
