Summary

College View Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Denver's School District No. 1 serving 368 students from one of the highest-poverty areas in the region, with 93.2% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. The school currently ranks in the 5th percentile of Colorado elementary schools (900 out of 943) with a 0-star rating, placing it among the lowest-performing schools in the area—a contrast to nearby Sabin World School (56th percentile) and Gust Elementary School (43rd percentile).

Academically, math is the most urgent concern: just 7.9% of College View students were proficient in math on the 2025–2026 CMAS, compared with 35.0% across the district and 37.3% statewide. Nearby Doull Elementary School (29.5% math proficiency) and Sabin World School (42.4%) serve similarly high-need populations and achieve far stronger results. In English Language Arts, College View's 19.2% proficiency is more than 25 points below the state average, though Johnson Elementary School (7.6%) and Charles M. Schenck (CMS) Community School (10.4%) score even lower. A relative bright spot is 4th grade ELA at 26.1%, notably higher than 3rd and 5th grades.

Chronic absenteeism is the school's defining challenge: 51.8% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, far above the district rate of 38.1% and the highest among all nearby schools—compared with 29.1% at Denison Montessori School and 31.4% at Sabin World School. Since the student–teacher ratio of 14.6 is lower than several higher-performing nearby schools, the academic struggles appear tied more to attendance and the intense concentration of poverty than to class size. After improving from the 1st percentile in 2021–2022 to the 11th percentile in 2024–2025, the school slipped back to the 5th percentile most recently—but the 4th grade ELA results and science scores near 21% offer modest building points for the future.
