Scott Elementary School

Summary:

Scott Elementary School is a public elementary school in Greeley, Colorado, serving 487 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Greeley School District No. 6, which is ranked 97 out of 116 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Scott Elementary School faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 67.76% Hispanic and only 20.33% White, well below the state and nearby school averages. The school's academic performance is consistently below state and district averages, with only 17.3% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 44.1% statewide and 28.1% in the district. Scott Elementary is ranked in the bottom 25% of Colorado elementary schools, and its performance is particularly low for Hispanic students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.7% to 84.36% over the past three years.

While Scott Elementary School's struggles are concerning, it is not alone. Several nearby schools, such as James Madison STEAM Academy and Maplewood Elementary School, also face low academic achievement and high rates of economic disadvantage. The Greeley School District may need to implement more targeted interventions and support systems to address the unique needs of its diverse student population and improve educational outcomes across the district.

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.
