Summary

Martinez Elementary School, located in Colorado Springs, CO, serves 354 students in grades PK-5 and is part of Colorado Springs School District No. 11. Despite its district ranking in the 43rd percentile statewide, Martinez itself has climbed steadily from the 33rd percentile in 2021-2022 to the 62nd percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating and ranking 356th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools.

Academically, Martinez outperforms both its district and the state in reading and math. In 2025-2026, 52.3% of students were proficient in ELA (vs. 44.7% statewide) and 48.0% were proficient in math (vs. 37.3% statewide). Literacy skills grow significantly as students advance, with 5th-grade ELA proficiency at 58.5% compared to 42.1% in 3rd grade. Math proficiency, however, remains flat across grade levels, and science is the school's clearest opportunity area: 31.3% proficiency vs. 36.1% statewide. Notably, Martinez outpaces several nearby Academy School District No. 20 schools, including Frontier Elementary School, Prairie Hills Elementary School, and New Summit Charter Academy, despite those schools belonging to a higher-ranked district.

Martinez also stands out for its attendance and class sizes. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 27.5% is far better than its home district's 45.8% average, though still above the state rate of 28.4%. The student-teacher ratio has improved dramatically to 12.8, among the lowest in the area. The school has shown particular effectiveness for Hispanic and low-income students, ranking in the 65th and 60th percentiles statewide for those groups respectively. All of this improvement came while the share of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch rose from 34.2% to 45.5%, suggesting genuine school-level effectiveness rather than demographic shifts.

I can’t say enough about the wonderful experience we’ve had at Martinez Elementary. Our daughter has attended Martinez Elementary School for three years now, and she’s grown by leaps and bounds both socially and academically. Just a few of the things that we love about this school include its small class sizes, innovative learning and leadership programs, and its wonderful teachers and staff they are nurturing, dedicated and incredible educators. Our daughter loves going to school and we feel lucky to have found such a wonderful school right in our neighborhood. Close Quote

I LOVE this school. I was hesitant at first because my previous school was a highly rated school also in D11. I was actually planning on leaving my kids at that school. I am SO glad that I didn't. I am so pleased with Martinez and the feeling of community there. Most importantly, I have been greatly impressed with the academic growth my child has shown. Close Quote
