Summary

Heiman Elementary School is a K–5 school in Evans, Colorado, serving 602 students as part of Greeley School District No. 6, a district that ranks in the bottom 16th percentile statewide. The school serves a high-poverty population—71.9% of students were eligible for free/reduced-price lunch in 2024-25. In the most recent ranking year, Heiman placed 711 of 943 Colorado elementary schools, landing in the 25th percentile with 1 star. That marks a meaningful improvement from the 12th–16th percentile range it had occupied since 2022-23.

Math is Heiman’s standout subject. Proficiency reached 27.9% in 2025-26, the highest among all nearby same-district elementary schools and well above the district’s 20.7%. Third-grade math proficiency hit 43.0%, above the state average of 41.5%—exceptional for a school with a 72% poverty rate. The school has also shown real momentum: ELA proficiency rose from 19.4% to 27.3% and math from 22.9% to 27.9%. Chronic absenteeism of 29.0% is better than the district average of 34.6% and most nearby schools, including Scott Elementary School (38.6%), Centennial Elementary School (39.2%), Monfort Elementary School (40.7%), and Jackson Elementary School (42.1%).

Challenges remain. Fifth-grade science proficiency dropped to 10.4%, among the lowest in the area, and 4th-grade math fell to 15.1% following the strong 3rd-grade year. There is also a gender gap: male students rank at the 18th percentile and female students at the 10th percentile statewide. Nearby Pete Mirich Elementary School, in Weld County Reorganized School District No. Re-1, outperforms Heiman in every subject, though it also has a lower poverty rate and smaller class sizes. Encouragingly, Heiman performs better for its Hispanic and low-income students than for its overall student body, and it outperforms most of its immediate same-district neighbors in both reading and math.
