Summary:
The Weld re-8 schools district in Colorado is home to four elementary schools, including Twombly Elementary School, Leo William Butler Elementary School, Kenneth Homyak PK-8, and Little Trappers Preschool.
Among the elementary schools in the district, Kenneth Homyak PK-8 stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Colorado and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students significantly outperform the district and state averages in academic subjects, with over 50% proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math across all grades. In contrast, the other schools in the district struggle to meet state proficiency levels in many subject areas.
While the schools maintain relatively consistent student-teacher ratios, the district faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates across all four elementary schools, ranging from 27.7% to 27.7%. Additionally, the schools have varying free/reduced lunch rates, with Twombly Elementary and Leo William Butler Elementary having significantly higher rates than Kenneth Homyak PK-8, suggesting a higher concentration of economically disadvantaged students at the former two schools.
