Washington Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades KG–05 in CANON CITY. It is one of 8 current school records connected to Fremont Re-1. NCES reports 319 students for 2024–25.
Among 1,017 elementary schools in Colorado with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 370 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 36th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 13.7:1, close to the Colorado median of 15.1:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are White (77.1%) and Hispanic or Latino (12.9%). English learners represent 2.9% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 17.5%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to gifted and talented programming. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
