Summary

Field Elementary School is a K–5 school in Littleton, CO, serving 280 students in the Littleton School District No. 6. While its district ranks among Colorado's best — 8th out of 115 districts with a 5-star rating — Field itself places in the 25th percentile statewide, earning just 1 star. The school's profile looks very different from most nearby Littleton schools: about 74% of students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch, a rate higher than even the neighboring Englewood schools. Chronic absenteeism stands at 30.1%, roughly double the district rate and 3–4 times higher than nearby schools like Sandburg Elementary School (8.5%) or Runyon Elementary School (7.0%).

Academically, Field trails its district by a wide margin. Just 28.6% of students are proficient in both ELA and math, compared to district averages of 62.1% and 58.4%. A school less than half a mile away, Littleton Prep Charter School, posts 53.6% ELA proficiency, while Runyon reaches 63.4%. The largest gap appears in 5th-grade science, where only 15% of Field students are proficient versus 51.1% across the district. Absenteeism, which jumped sharply from 21.0% to 30.1% in a single year, is widely considered the most actionable warning sign. Even compared to schools with similar poverty levels, Field struggles: Clayton Elementary School in Englewood has a lower free/reduced lunch rate yet achieves better ELA and math results.

Notably, Field has the lowest student-teacher ratio among all nearby schools at 12.2, indicating additional staffing resources are being provided — yet those resources have not translated into competitive outcomes. All tested subgroups score in the bottom quarter statewide, suggesting the challenges are systemic rather than limited to one population. The stagnation of test scores over the past three years, after some initial improvement, reinforces that the school's needs go beyond class size. For parents, Field offers more individual attention than most schools in the area, but the combination of high poverty, rising absenteeism, and consistently low proficiency means it remains a school facing significant hurdles despite its district's strong reputation.
