Summary

Eaton Elementary School is a K-5 school in Eaton, CO, serving 484 students as part of Weld County School District Re-2, a four-star district ranked 18th out of 115 in Colorado. The school itself ranks in the 67th percentile statewide (3 stars), making it a solid performer compared to nearby Greeley-area schools — but it is the lowest-ranked elementary within its own high-performing district.

Eaton's academic profile shows clear strengths and a few persistent challenges. In English language arts, 50.6% of students are proficient versus 44.7% statewide, and math proficiency is 53.1% versus 37.3% statewide. Science, however, is a consistent weak spot: 5th-grade science proficiency is 39.7%, well below the district's 49.4% and far behind Galeton Elementary School's exceptional 75% rate. Eaton also sees math proficiency drop from 65.9% in 3rd grade to 40.0% by 5th grade — a slide shared by Benjamin Eaton Elementary School but not by Galeton, which suggests it can be fixed. On a positive note, Eaton serves its economically disadvantaged students well (74th percentile statewide), even as its free/reduced lunch rate has climbed from 30.1% to 42.8% in three years.

Attendance is a bright spot relative to the wider area: Eaton's chronic absenteeism rate of 12.8% matches the district average and is less than half the state's 28.4%. Still, it lags its district neighbors — Benjamin Eaton Elementary posts 8.6% and Galeton just 6.1%. With a 15.5 student-teacher ratio, class sizes are moderate. Overall, Eaton is a dependable, above-state-average school in reading and math with strong results for low-income students. Closing the science gap and stabilizing upper-elementary math would likely return it to 4-star territory within Weld County School District Re-2.
