Summary

Stober Elementary School is a K-5 school in Lakewood, CO, serving 348 students as part of Jefferson County School District No. R-1, and it currently ranks 229 out of 943 Colorado elementary schools—a solid 76th percentile, 4-star rating. Academically, Stober Elementary School consistently outperforms both district and state averages, with 61.3% of students proficient in English Language Arts, 48.8% in math, and 52.5% in 5th-grade science on recent CMAS testing.

Stober's biggest strengths are literacy and science, with 5th-grade science scores that have exceeded state averages by more than 30 points in past years. The school is also notably effective at supporting economically disadvantaged learners, with low-income students ranking in the 79th percentile statewide. With 27.6% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, Stober falls in the middle of its neighborhood: it serves more low-income students than Dennison Elementary School (12.7%) or Kyffin Elementary School (10.5%), but far fewer than Eiber Elementary School (75.7%) or Slater Elementary School (72.5%). Chronic absenteeism sits at 19.9%, well below the district rate of 26.6%, and the student-teacher ratio of 15.8 is better than several higher-ranked nearby schools.

The main area for improvement is math, where proficiency declines from 53.7% in 3rd grade to 45.8% in 5th grade—dipping just below the district average by that point. Chronic absenteeism has also ticked upward recently, from 16.2% to 19.9%, and is worth watching. Overall, Stober is a strong, equitable school where boys and girls perform nearly identically, and its post-pandemic rebound has been steady. For parents, it offers a well-rounded education with particular strengths in reading, science, and supporting students from all socioeconomic backgrounds.
