Better than 20% of Colorado elementary schools

Summary

Platteville Elementary School serves 317 students in grades PK-5 in Platteville, CO, within Weld County Reorganized School District No. Re-1. The school ranks 755th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools (20th percentile), a slight improvement from last year but well below its 2023-24 position of 631st. About 65% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and chronic absenteeism is 25.7%—below the district average but much higher than stronger nearby schools like Prairie Ridge Elementary School (8.2%) and Firestone Charter Academy (10.0%).

Math is the most critical weakness. Just 15% of Platteville students were proficient in math in 2025-26, compared with 23.9% districtwide and 37.3% statewide. Every nearby school scored higher, including Milliken Elementary School (22.8%), Thunder Valley Pk-8 (22.4%), and Twombly Elementary School (27%). ELA proficiency is also below average at 25.3%. The most telling comparison is Gilcrest Elementary School, just six miles away with nearly identical poverty and attendance rates, yet Gilcrest posts 47.7% ELA proficiency and ranks at the 50th percentile overall.

There are reasons for cautious optimism. Platteville's student-teacher ratio of 13.7 is lower than many nearby schools, and 5th-grade science proficiency has climbed from 10.7% to 27% over three years. School effectiveness data shows improvement for Hispanic students, though other subgroups remain a concern. Platteville also reached the 33rd percentile as recently as 2023-24, demonstrating it can perform better. The clearest priority is raising math proficiency, which trails the state average by 22 points.
