Summary

Marrama Elementary School serves 547 students in grades PK through 5 in the Green Valley Ranch neighborhood of Denver, Colorado, as part of School District No. 1, where 85.6% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school faces significant academic challenges, with only 18.1% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 13% proficient in Math on the 2025-26 CMAS assessments, compared to state averages of 44.7% and 37.3%, respectively. These results place Marrama Elementary School in the 7th percentile statewide—a decline from the 28th percentile a decade ago.

Nearby schools with similar demographics demonstrate that stronger outcomes are possible in this community. Green Valley Elementary School, less than a mile away, posts ELA proficiency of 32% and math proficiency of 25.8% despite nearly identical poverty rates (81.8% FRL) and chronic absenteeism (38.5%). KIPP Northeast Elementary achieves 34.7% ELA and 27.9% math proficiency. Marrama's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency is just 6.5%, the lowest among all nearby schools, though proficiency does improve to 17.3% in 4th grade and 28.6% in 5th grade. Math proficiency remains flat at roughly 13% across all tested grades.

Chronic absenteeism affects 38.9% of Marrama students, though this is an improvement from 41.3% the prior year and is lower than several neighboring schools. The school's English Language Learner population saw a dramatic decline in performance, dropping from the 53rd percentile in 2023-24 to the 7th percentile in 2025-26. One bright spot: 5th-grade science proficiency (19.8%) exceeds both ELA and math results, and in 2023-24 science reached 29%, close to the district average. Relative strength in science and modest recent gains in attendance and overall proficiency offer signs that targeted interventions may be beginning to take root, though the school still has a long way to go.
