Better than 10% of Colorado elementary schools

Summary

Monaco Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Commerce City, Colorado. With 371 students enrolled, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Colorado elementary schools over the past decade, currently ranking 854 out of 950 schools statewide.

Monaco Elementary faces significant challenges in academic performance, with only 10.9% of students proficient or better in CMAS English Language Arts and just 7.9% proficient in math, compared to state averages of 44.8% and 35.9%, respectively. The school also struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.7% to 48.9% over the past few years, much higher than the state average. Additionally, 87.06% of Monaco Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the school serves a high-poverty population.

When compared to nearby Kemp Elementary, located just over a mile away, the performance gaps are stark, with Kemp having significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (18.4%) and Math (16.9%). This suggests that factors beyond just district-level challenges are contributing to Monaco's underperformance. Addressing the complex set of socioeconomic and educational barriers faced by Monaco Elementary will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to support the unique needs of the school and its community.
