Summary

Denver Green School Southeast is a public elementary and middle school serving 549 students in grades K-8 in Denver, Colorado. 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.

The data suggests that Denver Green School Southeast is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages on CMAS tests in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 23.3% of all grades were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 41.9% for the district and 44.8% for the state. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as 3rd-grade students, where only 7.4% were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 41.4% for the district and 42% for the state. Additionally, the school has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.7% to 38.2% over the past few years, and relatively high dropout rates, fluctuating between 1.8% and 3.8% in recent years.

When comparing Denver Green School Southeast to other nearby schools in the same district, it consistently underperforms. For example, Montclair School of Academics and Enrichment and Lowry Elementary School, both within a 2-mile radius, have higher academic proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. In contrast, Challenge School, a public magnet school in the Cherry Creek School District, stands out as a high-performing outlier, consistently ranking among the top 5-8 elementary schools in Colorado. Additionally, Denver Language School, a public charter school within 1.08 miles of Denver Green School Southeast, also outperforms the subject school in academic measures.
