Summary

Truscott Elementary School is a public elementary school in Loveland, Colorado, serving 203 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Thompson School District R-2j, which is ranked 43 out of 115 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small size, Truscott Elementary faces significant challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.6% to 27.7% over the past few years, which is much higher than the district and state averages. Academically, Truscott's performance on the CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) tests is consistently lower than the district and state, with only 20% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 44.4% for the district and 44.8% for the state. Additionally, Truscott has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37.95% to 62.07% over the past few years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

When comparing Truscott Elementary to other nearby schools within the same district, the differences in academic performance are stark. Namaqua Elementary and Lincoln Elementary have significantly higher CMAS proficiency rates, 20-30 percentage points higher than Truscott in both English Language Arts and Math. Similarly, Peakview Academy at Conrad Ball and New Vision Charter School, which serve a wider grade range, also outperform Truscott Elementary. These disparities suggest that addressing systemic issues, such as attendance and socioeconomic factors, may be crucial to improving educational outcomes for all students in the district.
