Summary

Broadway Elementary School is a public elementary school in Grand Junction, Colorado that serves 289 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Mesa County Valley School District No. 51, which is ranked 40th out of 115 school districts in the state.

Broadway Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in CMAS test scores across all grade levels and subjects. In the 2024-2025 school year, 64.7% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 43.1% for the district and 44.8% for the state. In Math, 60.1% of students were proficient or better, compared to 34.7% for the district and 35.9% for the state. The school's female and white students also rank among the top in the state. Additionally, Broadway Elementary has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 16.1% compared to the district average of 27.7%.

While Broadway Elementary is a high-performing school, it is not the only one in the area. Wingate Elementary School, located just 1.7 miles away, also ranks among the top elementary schools in Colorado with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Broadway Elementary's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 22.06%, suggests the school may serve a more affluent population compared to some nearby schools. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate, while lower than the district average, is still an area that could use improvement.
