Summary

Stott Elementary School is a small Pre-K through 5th grade school in Arvada, CO, serving 288 students as part of Jefferson County School District R-1. For the 2025–2026 school year, Stott ranks 99th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools—putting it in the top 10% statewide with a 4-star rating. The school serves a moderately diverse population, with about 32.3% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.7, which is notably lower than many nearby schools.

Stott's academic performance is strong across all subjects, significantly outpacing both district and state averages. In English Language Arts, 72.6% of students are proficient compared to 53.7% for the district and 44.7% statewide. Math proficiency stands at 63.8%, well above the district's 44.6% and the state's 37.3%. Science proficiency, at 52.9%, also exceeds both benchmarks. What makes these numbers especially impressive is the school's trajectory: Stott has climbed from the 70th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 75th percentile in 2024–2025, and now to the 90th percentile in 2025–2026. This dramatic improvement suggests recent instructional changes are having a real impact.

Compared to nearby schools, Stott stands out in several ways. Just half a mile away, Fremont Elementary School serves a similar community but lags significantly, with 54.8% ELA proficiency and 27.1% chronic absenteeism versus Stott's 72.6% and 12.7%, respectively. Stott also outperforms Lincoln Charter Academy, Vanderhoof Elementary School, and Van Arsdale Elementary School. While top-tier neighboring schools like Fairmount Elementary School, Sierra Elementary School, Meiklejohn Elementary, and West Woods Elementary School score slightly higher overall, Stott achieves this with a far more economically diverse student body. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 12.7% is less than half the district and state averages, and its low student-teacher ratio suggests a personalized learning environment that may be driving its impressive results.

My child has attended Stott for the past 3 years and is currently completing the 2nd grade. The new principal and staff of teachers and faculty are amazing. From Kindergarten forward, my child has been challenged and has excelled with the guidance of her outstanding teachers. The Kindergarten curriculum was challenging and appropriate for ensuring that students were ready to move on to the next grade. Her first grade teacher was amazing and gave her the confidence and knowledge necessary to become an excellent student for the rest of her education. In second grade, she has been given a great blend of reading, writing, arithmetic, science, and art studies. She loves school and all of her teachers at Stott. Close Quote

In Kindegarten they expect the child to learn: punctuation, capitalization, sentence structure, nouns and verbs....this was too much for my child who was just trying to learn how to read. On top of this he wasn't allowed recess all day because he "wasn't focusing". The teacher and principal were very defensive and did not have problem resolution skills. On top of this my son has been diagnosed with ADHD by his PA, a Phycologyst and Phyciatrist. The constant changing of stations when the bell rings every ten minutes was over whelming for any child. My son barley got logged into the computer in that time. =) Please consider other schools for Kindegarten. The home work load was atrocious....although, I here it lightens up in 1st grade, we didn't stick around to find out! Close Quote
