Who it serves

The measures behind the comparison
Bars: this school (the area around it for education). Black tick: average of Colorado elementary schools.
Adults 25–44 with a bachelor’s+56%Free/reduced-price lunch33%English learners11%Students with IEPs19%

Neighborhood family income (families with children near the school, NCES): 6.1× the poverty line. Enrollment (K–12): 508. Education is for adults aged 25–44 — the ages most likely to be parents — because the Census doesn’t publish parents’ education below the district level.
