Summary

Sand Creek International School is a public elementary school serving grades K-8 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with 593 students and a student-teacher ratio of around 13-14 students per teacher. The school is part of the Harrison School District No. 2, which is ranked 86 out of 115 districts in Colorado and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Sand Creek International School's performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, is generally below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. The school's proficiency rates in CMAS English Language Arts and Math were around 40% and 21%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 44.8% and 35.9%. The school's performance is particularly low in Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 6.6% to 31.7% across different grade levels.

Compared to nearby schools, the Colorado Springs School District No. 11 charter schools, such as Coperni 3 and James Irwin Elementary School - Astrozon, tend to have stronger academic performance, with higher proficiency rates in CMAS tests and higher school rankings. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, as well as the high chronic absenteeism and dropout rates at Sand Creek International School, may be contributing factors to its relatively low academic performance.

I've had nothing but good experiences for my children at Sand Creek Elementary. I've had kids in attendance there for the past 6 years. The teachers are great and they have great family involvement opportunities. The communication from the school is wonderful too, I love getting the updates on Facebook and the school website is always updated. Only down fall is the front office...the young lady is AWESOME, but the one who works the front desk comes across really rude and unfriendly. Close Quote
