Summary

Hallett Academy is an elementary school in Denver, Colorado, serving 266 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the School District No. 1, which is ranked 76 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hallett Academy has consistently underperformed compared to both the district and state averages. The school has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, with 37.1% of students chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the district average of 27.7%. Hallett Academy's academic performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, is also much lower than the district and state, with only 9.1% of students proficient or better in CMAS Math, compared to 32.9% for the district and 35.9% for the state. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83.08% to 89.08% over the past three years.

When comparing Hallett Academy to nearby schools in the same district, the differences are stark. For example, Westerly Creek Elementary and Park Hill School, both within a 1.5-mile radius of Hallett Academy, consistently outperform the school on CMAS test scores, with proficiency rates that are 2-3 times higher in many subject areas. The high chronic absenteeism rates at Hallett Academy appear to be closely linked to its poor academic performance, suggesting that addressing attendance issues could be a key strategy for improving student outcomes.
