Summary

Monfort Elementary School is a K–5 school in Greeley, CO, serving 373 students within Greeley School District No. 6, a district that overall faces significant academic challenges. Monfort’s own state ranking has declined sharply over the past decade, falling from the 54th percentile in 2014–2015 to the 13th percentile in 2025–2026, with a 1-star rating and proficiency rates well below state averages in both English Language Arts (21.9% vs. 44.7%) and math (16.1% vs. 37.3%).

However, Monfort is not the lowest-performing school in its immediate neighborhood. It outperforms nearby Jackson Elementary, James Madison STEAM Academy, Maplewood Elementary, Shawsheen Elementary, and Scott Elementary in state percentile rankings and ELA proficiency. The standout exception is Heiman Elementary, which posts higher ELA scores and a better state percentile (19th) despite a similar poverty rate. Monfort also lags far behind specialized nearby magnets like S. Christa McAuliffe STEM Academy and West Ridge Academy—schools with lower poverty rates and much lower chronic absenteeism.

Three bright spots stand out. Monfort’s 5th grade ELA proficiency (42.5%) exceeds the district average (34.7%) and beats most neighboring schools. Science proficiency jumped to 20% in 2025–2026, now above the district average. And Hispanic students at Monfort ranked at the 54th percentile statewide, earning 3 stars—far above the school’s overall 13th-percentile ranking. The biggest challenges are early literacy (only 5.8% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA) and chronic absenteeism (40.7%, roughly 6 points above the district average and 12 points above the state). Cutting absenteeism and boosting early reading are likely the most actionable levers for reversing Monfort’s long-term decline.
