Summary

Soda Creek Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 384 students. The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with a current ranking of 66 out of 950 Colorado elementary schools and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Soda Creek Elementary stands out for its exceptional academic performance, consistently outperforming the state and district averages in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 61.2% in English Language Arts and 63.2% in Math, compared to the state averages of 44.8% and 35.9%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly strong for specific student subgroups, such as ranking 77th out of 551 Colorado elementary schools for White students and 82nd out of 700 for Male students in ELA proficiency. Additionally, Soda Creek has demonstrated exceptional performance for low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking 20th out of 332 Colorado elementary schools in this category in the 2018-2019 school year.

While Soda Creek Elementary consistently outperforms the state and district averages, it is interesting to note the performance of nearby schools, such as Strawberry Park Elementary, located just 0.66 miles away, which has also maintained strong academic performance. However, Soda Creek has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.5% in 2021-2022 to 27.7% in 2023-2024, which may warrant further investigation and intervention. Additionally, the school has seen a notable increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 3.19% in 2021-2022 to 21.61% in 2023-2024, which could have implications for resource allocation and support services.
