Summary

Reunion Elementary School is a large PK–5 school in Commerce City, CO, serving 742 students as part of School District 27J. Despite its district's overall 2-star rating, Reunion stands out as an academic leader. For 2025–2026, it ranks 365th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools — the 61st percentile with a 3-star rating. The school exceeds both district and state averages in ELA (54% vs. 34.2% district and 44.7% state), math (40.5% vs. 26.8% district and 37.3% state), and 5th grade science (42.7% vs. 23.6% district and 36.1% state). It also has much lower chronic absenteeism (18.4%) than the district (29.7%) and state (28.4%) averages.

Reunion is the highest-performing nearby elementary school in both ELA and science. Its 54% ELA proficiency tops all neighboring schools, ahead of Landmark Academy at Reunion (49.3%) and Second Creek Elementary School (38.6%). In science, Reunion's 42.7% proficiency leads the area, above Landmark Academy at Reunion (35.4%) and Belle Creek Charter School (32.8%), while nearby schools like Southlawn Elementary School (8.9%) and Henderson Elementary School (9.8%) post far lower scores. The school also serves historically underserved students well: Hispanic students rank in the 83rd percentile statewide and low-income students in the 75th percentile, both earning 4-star ratings. Chronic absenteeism is far below neighboring schools like Southeast Elementary School (39.1%) and Second Creek Elementary School (34.0%).

Reunion does have areas to watch. Math proficiency drops sharply by 5th grade — from 47.2% in 3rd grade to just 29.5% in 5th, below the state average of 39.3%. Gifted and Talented students rank in the 20th percentile statewide, suggesting the school may not be challenging its highest-ability learners enough. The school's overall ranking has also slipped from the 76th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 61st percentile today, although it remains far above most district peers. Compared to nearby Landmark Academy at Reunion, just 0.73 miles away with similar enrollment, Reunion wins in ELA and science — a strong sign for parents considering this school. If Reunion can address the 5th grade math slide and better serve gifted learners, it has potential to climb back into the 70th–80th percentile range.
