Summary

Denver Green School Southeast is a K–8 school in Denver, CO, serving 586 students at 6700 East Virginia Avenue in School District No. 1 (Denver Public Schools), where about 65% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. For 2025–26, the school ranks 782 out of 943 Colorado elementary schools — the 17th percentile, earning 1 star. This marks a sharp decline from 2017–18, when the school ranked in the 61st percentile.

Academic proficiency is well below district and state averages: only 25.3% of students are proficient in ELA and 17.0% in math, compared with 42.5% and 35.0% districtwide. Science is especially low, with just 7.0% of 8th graders proficient. A striking pattern is the middle-grade collapse in reading: 3rd grade ELA proficiency (40.5%) matches the state average, but by 6th grade it falls to 11.7%, and by 8th grade to 13.6%. Math is weak at every grade, with 6th grade proficiency at just 6.7%. Nearby Denver Language School starts at the same 3rd grade ELA level (40.5%) but reaches 73.0% by 8th grade.

Chronic absenteeism affects 47.9% of students — up from 38.2% last year and far above the state average of 28.4%. This puts the school in the same high-absenteeism group as Ellis Elementary School (49.6%) and McMeen Elementary School (54.7%), while higher-performing neighbors like Carson Elementary School (8.6%) and Challenge School (6.8%) have far better attendance. Even among similar-poverty schools, Denver Green School Southeast underperforms: McMeen Elementary School has a nearly identical free/reduced lunch rate (63.3%) yet posts stronger ELA (34.1%) and math (22.9%) proficiency. The school's low-income students fell from near the state median in 2021–22 to the 4th percentile by 2024–25. The most recent year shows a slight improvement — the percentile rose from 10th to 17th — offering a hint of stabilization, though the school remains far behind its district and state.
