Summary

Stratton Meadows Elementary School in Colorado Springs, CO, serves 290 students in grades PK–5 as part of Harrison School District No. 2, a district ranked in the 27th percentile statewide. The school serves a highly economically disadvantaged population, with 83.8% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch.

Academically, Stratton Meadows is one of the lowest-performing elementary schools in Colorado. For the 2025–2026 school year, it ranks 912th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools, placing it in the 3rd percentile with zero stars. Only 14.7% of students are proficient in English language arts, 9.3% in math, and 7.9% in science — roughly one-quarter to one-third of state averages. This is not a sudden dip: the school has declined steadily from the 66th percentile in 2015–2016. Nearby schools tell a different story. Oak Creek Elementary School ranks in the 29th percentile, Mountain Vista Community School in the 52nd, and Monterey Elementary School in the 33rd. The Vanguard School (Elementary), located just 0.39 miles away, ranks in the 48th percentile with more than triple Stratton's math proficiency rate. Even schools with similar poverty levels — like Monterey at 80.2% free/reduced lunch — achieve significantly better results. Chronic absenteeism is 35.4%, and despite a favorable student–teacher ratio of 11.4, outcomes remain critically low.

There are a few notable nuances. Stratton Meadows has historically served its Hispanic students relatively well, with that subgroup performing near the 59th percentile compared with Hispanic students statewide in 2021–2022. This suggests some existing strengths to build upon. However, the overall picture is urgent: Stratton Meadows has become an extreme outlier even within its own low-performing district, and its sustained downward trajectory — rather than a pandemic-related blip — makes it a school in clear need of intervention and review.

This school has an amazing staff and a great leadership team. Mrs. Kelsey is the best school leader I have seen to date and I could not feel better about my children's' school. How does a school like this beat out the best schools and districts in the city?- leadership makes all the difference!! Common core won't be a problem for this school! Close Quote
