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+24%Free/reduced-price lunch93%English learners21%Students with IEPs17%

Neighborhood family income (families with children near the school, NCES): 1.6× the poverty line. Enrollment (K–12): 527. 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.
