Summary:
The city of Penrose, Colorado has only one school in the data set - Penrose Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has a relatively high free and reduced lunch rate of 40.94%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, its academic performance is concerning, with test scores consistently below the state and district averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, and Science.
Penrose Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined significantly over the past three years, dropping from 565th out of 921 Colorado elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 693rd out of 943 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school is rated only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting it is underperforming compared to other schools in the Fremont Re-2 district and the state of Colorado. The school's student population is also predominantly White, with only 12.08% Hispanic students and very small percentages of other racial/ethnic groups, which may limit the diversity of the educational experience.
Overall, the data indicates that Penrose Elementary School is a struggling school that is underperforming academically compared to state and district averages. The school's declining statewide ranking, low test scores, high poverty rates, and lack of diversity are all areas of concern that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for the children of Penrose.
