Summary:

The 80903 zip code area of Colorado Springs has only one elementary school, Columbia Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance data suggests it is facing significant challenges in academic achievement, attendance, and serving a high-poverty student population.

Columbia Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the Colorado Springs School District No. 11 and the state of Colorado in CMAS English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 32.7% in ELA and 22.2% in Math, compared to district averages of 38.9% and 31.1%, and state averages of 44.8% and 35.9%, respectively. Additionally, the school had a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

The data also indicates that Columbia Elementary School serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 72.2% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This high poverty level may contribute to the school's academic challenges and could require additional resources and support to address the needs of its students. Overall, the insights suggest that Columbia Elementary School is facing significant hurdles and could benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
