Leroy Elementary

Summary:

Leroy Elementary is a public elementary school in Northglenn, Colorado, serving 404 students in grades K-5. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (around 60%) and a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (75.5% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch).

Academically, Leroy Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Colorado elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments. In 2023-2024, only 17.3% of Leroy students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 44.1% statewide and 41.4% in the Adams 12 Five Star Schools district. The school's math and science scores are also concerning, with only 13.3% and 18.9% of students, respectively, meeting proficiency standards. Leroy's academic struggles are particularly evident when compared to nearby schools, such as Woodglen Elementary and Thornton Elementary, which outperform Leroy on state assessments.

The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio (14-14.9 students per teacher) suggests that class size alone is not a significant factor in its underperformance. Instead, the data indicates that Leroy Elementary may benefit from a comprehensive, data-driven approach to school improvement, focusing on areas such as curriculum alignment, instructional strategies, professional development for teachers, and targeted interventions for struggling students. Collaboration with higher-performing nearby schools, both within and outside the Adams 12 Five Star Schools district, could also provide valuable insights and best practices to help Leroy Elementary improve student outcomes.

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.
