Summary:
Zip code 95020 has seven elementary schools, all serving kindergarten through fifth grade, with 4,269 students total and enrollments from 481 to 800 (about 610 students per school). In 2025–2026, the schools’ average proficiency was 37% in English language arts (ELA), 37% in math and 28% in science, compared with statewide rates of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important takeaway is that results vary substantially from school to school: the spread between the highest and lowest school is about 25 to 35 percentage points, depending on the subject.
Las Animas Elementary led in all three subjects, with 55% proficiency in ELA, 53% in math and 45% in science; those results were 5, 14 and 9 points above state rates. Luigi Aprea Elementary placed second in each subject, at 49%, 47% and 42%. At the other end, Eliot Elementary had the lowest ELA and math results, 19% and 22%, while Glen View Elementary had the lowest science result, 20%. SchoolDigger’s rankings also put Las Animas highest in the group (72nd percentile, four stars) and Eliot lowest (13th percentile, one star).
Recent changes are mixed: the group’s average ELA result was essentially flat at about 37% from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while math improved relative to the state and the science gap widened because the state’s results rose faster. El Roble Elementary improved in all three subjects—about 6 points in ELA, 3 in math and 4 in science—while Glen View Elementary had the largest math gain, about 12 points, but remained below the state rate. School characteristics offer context, not explanations: El Roble has the lowest student-teacher ratio (22.9) but scored below Rod Kelley Elementary in all three subjects. In the 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible measure, Rod Kelley was at 54% and El Roble at 58%; these figures do not establish why results differ. Eliot also had higher chronic absenteeism than the state in 2025–2026: 32% versus 18%.
