Summary

Rocky Mountain Elementary School is a public elementary school in Longmont, Colorado, serving 313 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the St. Vrain Valley School District, which is ranked 27th out of 115 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Despite being part of a well-regarded district, Rocky Mountain Elementary School faces significant challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.8% to 27.7%, which is much higher than the state and district averages. Academically, the school underperforms compared to the district and state, with only 19.4% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 14.5% in Math, far below the district and state averages. When looking at specific student groups, the school's performance is even lower, ranking in the bottom 25% of Colorado elementary schools for both female and male students.

Interestingly, when comparing Rocky Mountain Elementary School to nearby Fall River Elementary School, which is just 1.39 miles away, the performance gap is even more pronounced, with Fall River outperforming Rocky Mountain by 40-50 percentage points on CMAS assessments. This disparity is likely due to Rocky Mountain's high poverty rate, with 72.52% to 83.33% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years. Additionally, Rocky Mountain's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting the school's performance is not improving relative to other schools in Colorado.
