Summary

Lumberg Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Edgewater, Colorado, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 532 students. While the school is part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1, which is ranked 29th out of 115 school districts in Colorado, Lumberg Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in academic assessments.

Lumberg Elementary School has significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math on the CMAS assessments, with only 9% and 5.4% of students, respectively, meeting or exceeding standards in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the school has a much higher chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7%, compared to the district and state averages. This is likely exacerbated by the high percentage of students, ranging from 75.32% to 89.31%, who receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students.

When comparing Lumberg Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, such as Edgewater Elementary School and Eiber Elementary School, it is clear that Lumberg is the lowest-performing school in the area. These nearby schools significantly outperform Lumberg in academic assessments and have lower chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting that the challenges faced by Lumberg Elementary may be unique and require targeted interventions to address the persistent academic struggles and attendance issues.
