Better than 4% of Colorado elementary schools

Summary

Shawsheen Elementary School in Greeley, CO, serves 405 students in grades PK–5 and is part of Greeley School District No. 6, currently ranking in the 4th percentile statewide — 909th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools. The school holds a 0-star rating from the state, and its ranking has declined steadily over the past decade, falling from the 28th percentile in 2015–16 to the bottom 5% of schools today. About 76% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Shawsheen trails both district and state averages by wide margins. Only 16.7% of students are proficient in English Language Arts, 10.8% in math, and 9.8% in 5th-grade science, compared to state averages of 44.7%, 37.3%, and 36.1%. Math is critically weak — just 1 in 10 students is proficient, and 3rd and 4th grade proficiency sits in the single digits. Early literacy is also a major concern: only 6.8% of 3rd graders are proficient in ELA. On a more positive note, 5th-grade ELA proficiency reaches 32.6%, close to the district rate. Several nearby schools with similar poverty rates achieve better results. Martinez Elementary School, for example, has a higher free/reduced-price lunch rate (80.4%) yet outperforms Shawsheen in every subject — 24.2% ELA and 22.2% math proficiency. Scott Elementary School also posts higher scores with a similar poverty rate.

Chronic absenteeism affects 29.3% of students, which is better than nearby low-performing schools like Monfort Elementary School (40.7%) and Scott Elementary (38.6%), but well above high-performing schools like S. Christa McAuliffe STEM Academy (16.3%) and West Ridge Academy (14.9%). Families within about a mile of Shawsheen have access to significantly stronger options — McAuliffe STEM Academy posts 51.9% ELA and 44.3% math proficiency, roughly triple Shawsheen's rates. The overall picture is one of a school in sustained decline, serving a high-need population. While poverty creates real challenges, similar-poverty schools in the area show that better outcomes are possible, making urgent intervention in early literacy and foundational math critical for Shawsheen's students.
