Summary

SOAR at Green Valley Ranch is an elementary school in Denver, CO serving 484 students in grades K–5 and part of School District No. 1, a district ranked in the 38th percentile statewide. The school itself has consistently ranked in the lower quartile of Colorado elementary schools over the past decade, with its most recent 2025–2026 ranking placing it at 737 out of 943 schools (22nd percentile, 1 star). Academically, SOAR trails district and state averages in all tested subjects: only 28.2% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) compared to 42.5% district and 44.7% statewide, while math proficiency was 21.6% versus 35% district and 37.3% state. The school serves a high-poverty population (79.96% free/reduced lunch eligibility), and chronic absenteeism has risen to 41.6%—well above state and district levels.

Despite these challenges, SOAR shows several encouraging signs. Fifth-grade science proficiency on the CMAS reached 26% in 2025–2026, a dramatic jump from 13.8% the prior year and among the highest in the area—only Lena Archuleta Elementary School scored higher among nearby schools. Math performance, at 21.6%, is the school's highest in available data and outpaces several nearby schools including Barney Ford Elementary School, Marrama Elementary School, and Highline Academy Northeast. The school also shows notable effectiveness with specific student groups: African American students ranked at the 50th percentile statewide (3 stars), and English Language Learners ranked at the 43rd percentile—both far stronger than the school's overall rank.

However, significant concerns remain. Chronic absenteeism is severe and worsening, increasing from 34.0% to 41.6% year over year. SOAR's student-teacher ratio of 17.6 is also among the highest in the area, second only to Florida Pitt-Waller Ece-8 School. Comparisons with nearby schools highlight room for improvement: KIPP Northeast Elementary, just 0.31 miles away, outperforms SOAR in both ELA (34.7% vs. 28.2%) and math (27.9% vs. 21.6%) while maintaining a much lower student-teacher ratio (12.4 vs. 17.6). Similarly, Lena Archuleta Elementary School serves a comparable population yet posts substantially higher proficiency across all subjects. With intentional focus on attendance, early literacy, and class-size reduction—building on its strengths in science and subgroup support—SOAR has clear potential to improve.
