Summary

Stratton Meadows Elementary School is a public elementary school in Colorado Springs, Colorado, serving around 300 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Harrison School District No. 2, which is ranked 86 out of 115 school districts in Colorado and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stratton Meadows Elementary School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 16.3% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 10.4% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in math, compared to state averages of 44.8% and 39.1%, respectively. Additionally, the school has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.7% to 38.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Oak Creek Elementary (27.7%) and Mountain Vista Community School (27.7%).

The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Stratton Meadows Elementary School, ranging from 71.9% to 87.33% over the past few years, indicate that the school serves a predominantly low-income population. This is in stark contrast to the nearby Broadmoor Elementary School, which is part of the higher-performing Cheyenne Mountain School District No. 12 and consistently outperforms Stratton Meadows on standardized tests while having much lower rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.

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
