Summary

Martinez Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Greeley, CO, serving 469 students in the Greeley School District No. 6, a district that faces significant challenges but where Martinez stands out as one of the stronger performers among its immediate neighbors. While the school’s overall state ranking is in the 17th percentile — below the Colorado median — it is the second-highest ranked school in its local group of ten nearby elementary schools, trailing only Meeker Elementary School. Like most schools in this area, Martinez serves a high-poverty population, with 80.4% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, but it also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.6, lower than most nearby schools.

Academically, Martinez leads its local peer group in both math and science. On the 2025-26 CMAS math assessment, 22.2% of Martinez students scored proficient or above — the only school in the comparison group to exceed the district average of 20.7%, and more than double the proficiency rates at Maplewood Elementary School (9.5%) and James Madison STEAM Academy (10.7%), both less than a mile away. In 5th-grade science, Martinez again tops the local group at 21.9% proficiency. In English Language Arts, Martinez’s 24.2% proficiency rate is second only to Meeker’s 31.3% among nearby schools. Martinez has also shown strong recent growth in math, climbing from 12.7% proficiency in 2023-24 to 22.2% in 2025-26.

Despite these relative strengths, Martinez’s absolute proficiency rates remain well below state averages, and chronic absenteeism is a concern at 35.8%, above the state rate of 28.4%. One notable bright spot: Hispanic students at Martinez performed at the 52nd percentile statewide among Hispanic student populations, a much stronger result than the school’s overall ranking. With its upward math trajectory, low student-teacher ratio, and consistent outperformance of neighboring schools with similar demographics, Martinez appears to be a school where local practices are making a tangible difference — and where reducing absenteeism could unlock even greater gains.
