Summary

Kenneth Homyak Pk-8 in Dacono, Colorado, is a small combined elementary and middle school serving 311 students in grades PK through 8 as part of Weld Re-8 Schools, a district where it stands out as a clear academic bright spot. The school currently ranks in the 65th percentile statewide (334th of 943 schools) with a 3-star rating, putting it solidly above average, though its performance has softened from the 4-star, 84th-percentile results it earned in 2021-2022.

Academically, Kenneth Homyak delivers results that are dramatically higher than its home district: 53% of students are proficient in ELA and 48.6% in math, compared with just 21.3% and 21.6% district-wide. Those numbers also clear the state averages of 44.7% and 37.3%, and the school even edges out the overall averages of the nearby St. Vrain Valley School District, a district widely considered one of Colorado's strongest. The middle grades are particularly impressive — 8th grade math proficiency is 75% and 8th grade science is 58.3%, far ahead of nearby Soaring Heights Pk-8 (66.4% math, 45% science), Aspen Ridge Preparatory School (53.7% math, 35.8% science), and Thunder Valley Pk-8 (19.3% math, 12.8% science).

Kenneth Homyak also stands out in areas beyond test scores. Chronic absenteeism is just 12%, compared with 33.1% for its district and 28.4% statewide, and the student-teacher ratio of 15:1 is better than most nearby schools. Only 18.65% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a relatively low poverty rate. That said, the school is not among the top tier of nearby St. Vrain elementaries like Erie Elementary School (94th percentile) or Highlands Elementary School (91st percentile), and its scores have dipped in recent years alongside uneven subgroup results. Still, for families in Dacono, Kenneth Homyak delivers results far above what its district context would suggest, making it a compelling option within its community.

AMAZING SCHOOL! My kids love this school so much and the teachers really take care of the students. Close Quote

The school is good for preparing children for high school. However, my child had a lot of mental breakdowns while she was here and she lost a lot of her motivation here. If you do bring your child here, please, constantly check up on their mental health. Close Quote
