Summary

Greenwood Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Greenwood Village, Colorado, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 362 students. The school is part of the Cherry Creek School District No. 5, which is ranked 30th out of 115 school districts in Colorado and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greenwood Elementary consistently ranks among the top 15% of Colorado elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 84 and 213 over the past 10 years. The school's performance on CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) tests is significantly higher than the district and state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, Greenwood Elementary had 61.5% of students proficient or better in ELA, compared to 48.2% for the district and 44.8% for the state. The school's 3rd and 4th-grade ELA proficiency rates are particularly impressive, reaching over 64% in 2024-2025, compared to around 44% for the district and state. In math, Greenwood Elementary's proficiency rates are also significantly higher than the district and state, with 61.3% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 42.8% for the district and 35.9% for the state.

Greenwood Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 5.65% to 13.26% over the past three years, indicating a higher socioeconomic status compared to the surrounding schools. The school's student-teacher ratio is also lower than the nearby schools, ranging from 13.7 to 14.3 over the past three years, suggesting smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students. While Cherry Hills Village Elementary, Walnut Hills Community Elementary, and Belleview Elementary are also part of the Cherry Creek School District No. 5, their academic performance is generally lower than Greenwood Elementary. However, some schools outside the Cherry Creek district, such as Ford Elementary and Lois Lenski Elementary (both in the Littleton School District No. 6), also demonstrate strong academic performance, with proficiency rates comparable to or even exceeding Greenwood Elementary in certain subjects and grade levels.
