Better than 4% of Colorado elementary schools

Summary

Monaco Elementary School serves 434 students in grades PK–6 in Commerce City, CO, a working-class suburb in the Denver metro area, and is part of School District N. 14, the lowest-ranked district in Colorado. The school holds a 0-star rating and sits in the 4th percentile statewide, with 87.1% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, several findings stand out for parents considering this school.

On the positive side, Monaco's chronic absenteeism rate of 31.2% is far better than the district average of 43.9% and beats nearly every nearby school, including Central Elementary School (44.8%) and Alsup Elementary School (44.7%). The student-teacher ratio of 15.7 is also slightly better than many peers like Kemp Elementary School (16.5) and Monterey Community School (18.8). In reading, Monaco showed real progress in 2025–2026, with English Language Arts proficiency rising to 17.2% — above the district average of 15.4% and better than Central Elementary School (13.4%) and Rose Hill Elementary School (14.0%).

The biggest concern is math. Only 9.0% of Monaco students are proficient in math, the lowest among all six elementary schools in its district. Kemp Elementary School, which serves a nearly identical student population (88.6% low-income) with similar attendance patterns, achieves 21.2% math proficiency — more than double Monaco's rate. Grade-level data shows math proficiency drops from 14.0% in 3rd grade to just 7.1% in 4th grade, and reading falls sharply from 4th to 5th grade. Nearby schools in Mapleton School District No. 1, such as Community Leadership Academy (32.8% ELA, 21.6% math) and Monterey Community School (26.5% ELA, 17.2% math), show that higher achievement is possible in similar high-poverty communities.
