Brush Creek Elementary School

Summary:

Brush Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school in Eagle, Colorado, serving 371 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Eagle County School District No. Re 50. The school consistently outperforms district and state averages in academic achievement, with strong test scores across all grade levels and subjects.

Brush Creek Elementary has a predominantly white student population (83.56%), with a relatively low percentage of Hispanic students (14.29%) and a small percentage of students identifying as two or more races (2.16%). The school also has a low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (9.7%), significantly lower than nearby schools like Avon Elementary (79.39%) and Gypsum Elementary (72.03%). Additionally, Brush Creek Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.7, lower than the district average.

While Brush Creek Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Colorado, there are some areas that warrant further attention. The school's high academic performance is primarily driven by its white student population, and there are gender-based differences in performance, with female students outranking male students. Additionally, the school's performance for its small population of Hispanic students is less clear, as the data does not provide a breakdown of their academic achievement. However, Brush Creek Elementary still outperforms the nearby schools in the Eagle County School District, which generally have lower academic achievement and higher percentages of students from low-income families, with the exception of the Eagle County Charter Academy, which also performs well academically and has a similar demographic profile.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
