Summary

Wm E Bishop Elementary School is a small K-6 school in Englewood, CO, serving about 200 students in the Englewood School District No. 1. The school earned a 2-star rating for 2025-2026, ranking in the 43rd percentile of Colorado elementary schools — meaningful progress from a decade ago when it ranked in the bottom decile. Bishop serves a high-poverty community (78.5% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch) and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.3.

Academically, Bishop faces significant challenges. Only 14.4% of students were proficient in English Language Arts on the 2025-2026 CMAS, compared to 31% district-wide and 44.7% statewide. Math proficiency was 20.9%, versus 37.3% statewide. Chronic absenteeism affects 46.1% of students — the second-highest rate among nearby schools, behind only College View Elementary School (51.8%), and far above the state rate of 28.4%. Notably, schools with similar or higher poverty rates, including Gust Elementary School and Rocky Mountain Prep Ruby Hill, post stronger test scores, suggesting Bishop has room to improve even within its socioeconomic context.

One striking bright spot: 6th grade math proficiency reached 52.2% — nearly double the district rate and well above the state average — while 4th grade math sits at just 11.1%. This sharp gap suggests a strong cohort or teacher rather than a school-wide trend. With its low student-teacher ratio and small enrollment, Bishop has the foundation for personalized intervention, but attendance remains the most urgent barrier. The school's trajectory is encouraging — rising from a 0-star to a 2-star rating — yet sustained progress will require improving early-grade foundations and tackling the absenteeism that undermines learning.
