The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners, with only 9.8% proficient or better in ELA in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 40.1% in the 2023-2024 school year, and relatively high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 1.9% to 2.9%.

However, the school's African American students ranked 5th out of 15 Colorado elementary schools for this subgroup in the 2017-2018 school year, suggesting that the school may be able to better support certain student populations.

My kids go to Mosley and we love it! Never had ANY issues with them! Have LOVED the way they’ve always handled things! And I was ALWAYS notified! Even if it was something small! Plus it’s super close to base! There’s a gate for them to walk to school through that SF’s opens. The teachers were great and I loved how they did the parent teacher conferences! I even volunteered there a few times! Close Quote
