Summary

Winograd K-8 Elementary School is a large public school in Greeley, CO, serving 691 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade as part of the Greeley School District No. 6. The school currently holds a 1-star rating, ranking 722nd out of 943 Colorado elementary schools (23rd percentile) — a notable decline from the 69th percentile it held in 2015-2016. Academically, 27.9% of students scored proficient in English Language Arts and 20.6% in Math, figures that track closely with district averages (28.1% and 20.7%) but fall well below Colorado state averages of 44.7% and 37.3%.

The school's most striking pattern is a middle-grade slide. In 3rd grade, Winograd students actually outperform their district peers — 30.7% proficient in ELA versus 22.5% districtwide. But by 8th grade, proficiency drops dramatically: 16.9% in ELA (vs. 28.4% district), 13.7% in Math (vs. 26.1% district), and just 9.6% in Science (vs. 20.1% district). Because Winograd is a PK-8 campus, this decline can't be blamed on students transitioning to a separate middle school. The data also flags an equity concern: the school's female student subgroup ranks in the 5th percentile statewide, far below the 26th percentile for male students.

Compared with nearby schools, Winograd sits between two groups. It outperforms several neighborhood schools like Maplewood Elementary School (17.5% ELA), James Madison STEAM Academy (18.5% ELA), and Scott Elementary School (20.4% ELA). However, it is outclassed by specialized academies within two miles: S. Christa McAuliffe STEM Academy posts 51.9% ELA proficiency, Tointon Academy of Pre-Engineering 39.0%, and West Ridge Academy 38.8%. One bright spot: chronic absenteeism at 26.2% is better than the district's 34.6% and many nearby schools. With 65.6% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, poverty is a meaningful factor but doesn't fully explain the gap with neighboring academies.

Open Quote I feel that Winograd has been the best schooling experience for my children. I moved my oldest to Winograd at a pivotal point right before middle school and my youngest started out there from Kindergarten. The teachers and administrators are focused on the success of each child. My children are thriving and happy and it was a complete turn around from the prior school for my oldest. They hold kiss accountable for their actions, teach values such as respect and compassion , I believe that's what's missing from other schools. They recognize students for achievement and help them when they are struggling. I really feel like it's a no kid left behind kind of environment. Close Quote

Open Quote Check out the statistics on this school! Something is happening here! One of the highest rates of free and reduced lunch students- that equates to low socio economics within the student body. The highest test scores and achievement scores in the county! This is a rare in our present school system. Usually the higher achieving schools are charter schools with hand picked students who families can afford the "trappings". This is a public school with these incredible scores??? Start asking questions???? Close Quote
