Summary

Sabin World School is a larger-than-typical elementary school in southwest Denver serving about 559 students in grades PK through 5 as part of School District No. 1 (Denver Public Schools). With roughly 65% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school has earned a 3-star rating and currently ranks in the 56th percentile statewide (412th of 943 Colorado elementary schools)—a notable improvement from its 37th-percentile standing a decade ago.

Sabin stands out most clearly when compared with nearby schools. In 2025–2026, it posted the highest proficiency rates among eight neighboring DPS elementaries in both English Language Arts (50.9%) and math (42.4%), comfortably exceeding district (42.5% ELA, 35.0% math) and state (44.7% ELA, 37.3% math) averages. The next-closest same-district neighbor, Doull Elementary, reached 47.4% in ELA, while Gust Elementary was nearest in math at 32.2%. Several area schools trail far behind, including Johnson Elementary (7.6% ELA, 6.9% math) and College View Elementary (19.2% ELA, 7.9% math). Only Addenbrooke Classical Grammar School, in neighboring Jefferson County, posts a comparable statewide ranking.

Sabin also does particularly well supporting students from low-income families, with these students ranking in the 67th percentile statewide in 2025–2026 and the 82nd percentile the prior year. Chronic absenteeism, while above the state average at 31.4%, is still better than the district average of 38.1% and well below neighbors like Kaiser Elementary (56.7%) and Traylor Academy (53.9%). Areas to watch include 5th-grade science, where proficiency dipped to 25%, and female students, whose test scores trail their male peers. Overall, Sabin is a strong academic anchor in a part of Denver where many nearby elementary schools are struggling.

Three of our children attend Sabin this year - this is our fourth year at the school. Our favorite thing about Sabin is the teachers! Every teacher each of our children has had has been wonderful. They are caring and creative to help each student learn in his or her own way at his or her level. They go beyond just what has to be done for their students. Close Quote

I feel beyond fortunate that our children have been Sabin Stallions since Kindergarten. While we only live blocks away, I would gladly add a hour+ commute if we ever had to move. The staff and teachers are beyond committed to EVERY kiddos safety and academic success. The 1:1 technology provides all kids the ability to grown and adapt to our ever changing technology driven world. The International Baccalaureate profile (Inquirers, Knowledgeable, Thinkers, Communicators,Principled, Open-minded, Caring, Risk-takers, Balanced,Reflective) is at the CORE of all the lesson planning and is evident in the responsible community members this school is molding for the future! I would highly recommend Sabin to anyone looking for a high quality elementary school. Close Quote
