Summary

Wray Elementary School serves 409 students in grades PK–6 in Wray, Colorado, a small rural community, and is part of the Wray Rd-2 School District, which ranks 43rd out of 115 Colorado districts. The school itself currently holds a 3-star rating, ranking 393rd out of 943 elementary schools statewide (58th percentile). With about 64% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school serves an economically diverse community, and its roughly 15:1 student-teacher ratio is a favorable feature for a rural elementary school.

Wray Elementary has several clear strengths. Its 5th-grade science program is exceptional: 54.9% of 5th graders scored proficient on the CMAS Science test in 2025-26, compared to 36.1% statewide — an 18.8-point advantage that has held steady for three years. Math is also above the state average overall (40.9% vs. 37.3%), with particularly strong results in 3rd-grade (50% vs. 41.5%) and 6th-grade (43.3% vs. 32.7%) math. Reading is close to the state average, with 5th-grade ELA a highlight (55.1% vs. 49.9%). Most notably, the school is exceptional for economically disadvantaged students: low-income students ranked in the 90th percentile statewide, earning a 5-star rating and placing Wray Elementary School in the top 32 of 319 Colorado elementary schools for this subgroup.

The school's long-term trajectory is encouraging. Wray Elementary has climbed from the 27th percentile in 2015-16 to its current 58th-percentile ranking, and it has maintained strong results even as poverty rates rose from 51.9% to 63.6% over two years. However, there are areas to watch: chronic absenteeism rose from 21.1% to 26.8% in the past year (still better than the district's 38.9%), 4th-grade reading (35.8% vs. 47.0% statewide) and 5th-grade math (30.6% vs. 39.3%) lag meaningfully behind, and girls' subgroup scores have dipped recently. There are no other schools within 20 miles of Wray, making this the only elementary option for local families. Overall, Wray Elementary is a solid, improving school that delivers genuinely strong results for low-income students, and targeted support in a few specific grade-level subjects could push it into the top tier of Colorado elementary schools.
