Original Research by School Decision on East Elementary School
East Elementary School is closed. That fact shapes everything a parent or resident might want to know about it. The school was a regular public elementary school in Littleton, Colorado, part of Littleton School District No. 6, but it is no longer operating. Anyone looking into this school today is essentially investigating a past institution, not an active enrollment option.
The school served elementary grades, though the exact grade band is not fully clarified in the available records. Because it is closed, there is no current enrollment, no current staff, no current programs, and no current student demographics to report. The data that exists is from the 2022-23 school year, the last year for which state assessment results were recorded before the school shut down.
Those assessment results give a snapshot of academic performance in the school’s final year. In math, about a quarter of students in tested grades met or exceeded state proficiency standards. In English language arts, roughly a third did. In science, at the fifth-grade level only, the share of students reaching proficiency was smaller. Participation rates in the state tests were high, meaning nearly all enrolled students took the exams. The school used the Colorado Measures of Academic Success, and the science test had a cut-score change that year, so direct comparisons to prior science results may not be straightforward.
No graduation rate applies, because the school did not serve high school grades. No data on student poverty, race and ethnicity, special education, or English learner status is available for that final year. A parent looking into this school’s past student body would need to seek historical records from the district or state to fill that picture.
The school was located in Littleton, a Denver suburb that functions as the county seat of Arapahoe County. The city has a historic downtown with a light rail station, a trail system along the South Platte River, and a mix of suburban neighborhoods and commercial corridors. Major employers include county government, AdventHealth Littleton, and Arapahoe Community College. The area grew substantially in the mid-20th century due to aerospace employment and is now fully part of the Denver metropolitan region. Housing values in the school’s ZIP code are elevated compared to national averages, and the area has experienced modest price softening in recent months. Rents are also above the national norm.
Because the school is closed, there is no community of current families, no current school leadership, and no active school website to consult. The district may have reassigned the building or the attendance zone to another school. A parent researching this site would need to contact Littleton Public Schools to learn what replaced East Elementary and which school now serves its former boundary. The academic performance from 2022-23, while informative about the school’s final years, does not reflect the current educational offering in that attendance zone.
In short, East Elementary School is a historical entry. Its academic numbers show a school where modest majorities of students were not yet meeting state standards in core subjects, but the more immediate question for a family is which school now occupies that role and what its own record looks like.
