Summary

Rose Stein International Elementary is a PK–6 school in Lakewood, Colorado, serving 336 students in the Jefferson County School District No. R-1, and although the district itself is relatively strong—ranked 24th out of 115 Colorado districts—the school's academic results are far below both district and state averages.

On 2025-26 CMAS assessments, only 21.8% of Rose Stein students were proficient in English Language Arts, 14.2% in math, and 13.2% in 5th-grade science, compared with district averages of 53.7% in ELA and 44.6% in math. About 79.8% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and chronic absenteeism stands at 42.6%, nearly double the district rate of 26.6%. Nearby schools show stark contrasts: Dennison Elementary School, less than two miles away, ranks at the 100th percentile with 90.9% ELA proficiency and just 4.3% chronic absenteeism. Even Newlon Elementary School in Denver, with a higher poverty rate at 92.5%, outscores Rose Stein in both ELA (30.5%) and math (15.5%). Patterson International School, another international-themed elementary just 1.84 miles away, also posts stronger results with 30.0% ELA proficiency and 21.8% chronic absenteeism.

There is encouraging news, however. Rose Stein has improved for two consecutive years after bottoming out at the 2nd percentile in 2023-24. ELA proficiency has risen from 11.8% to 21.8% since then, and math proficiency has more than tripled from 4.2% to 14.2%. The school now ranks in the 12th percentile statewide, up from 6th the prior year. Grade-level results are inconsistent—5th grade posted the strongest ELA proficiency at 30.8%, while 4th grade lagged at 9.1%—but the overall upward trajectory suggests recent efforts are beginning to show results. For parents, attendance appears to be the most actionable priority: nearby schools with chronic absenteeism below 30% tend to have ELA proficiency above 30%, so improving attendance could be a powerful lever for continued progress.
