Summary

Chappelow K-8 Magnet School serves roughly 693 students in grades K-8 in Evans, Colorado, and is part of GreeleySchool District No. 6. While the district overall ranks in the bottom quintile statewide, Chappelow is the highest-ranked traditional public school in its immediate area, placing 676th of 943 Colorado schools (28th percentile) with a 1-star rating. Among nearby schools, only Pete Mirich Elementary School, from the neighboring Weld County Reorganized School District No. Re-1, ranks higher at 613th. Chappelow easily outranks local peers such as Heiman Elementary School (711th), Meeker Elementary School (760th), and the much lower-ranked Maplewood Elementary School, Centennial Elementary School, and Salida del Sol Academy, which all sit in the bottom few percentiles statewide.

Chappelow's strongest academic area is literacy. Its 33% ELA proficiency rate outpaces the district average of 28.1% and beats every nearby same-district school, including Heiman Elementary School (27.3%), Meeker Elementary School (31.3%), Dos Rios Elementary School (22.4%), and Union Colony Elementary School (20.1%). The school also posts a notably low chronic absenteeism rate of 19.7%, well below the district's 34.6% and the state's 28.4%, and far better than nearby schools like Jackson Elementary School (42.1%) and Centennial Elementary School (39.2%). This attendance record is particularly noteworthy given that about two-thirds of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Only Fred Tjardes School of Innovation has better attendance among local schools.

However, Chappelow has been on a decade-long decline. It ranked in the 80th percentile statewide with a 4-star rating in 2015-16, and has slid almost every year since to its current 28th percentile. Math proficiency (23.4%) is above the district but trails Heiman Elementary School (27.9%) and Pete Mirich Elementary School (31.1%). Science scores saw a dramatic drop in 2025-26: 8th grade proficiency fell from 42.9% to 16.2%, and 5th grade from 37.5% to 17.3%. Grade-level performance is also uneven, with 6th grade math at just 14.6% proficient while 7th grade reaches 29.3%. Families considering Chappelow should weigh its status as the strongest local option against its long-term downward trend.
