Better than 9% of Colorado elementary schools

Summary

Union Colony Elementary School serves 342 students in grades K–5 in Evans, CO, and is part of Greeley School District No. 6, a district ranked in the bottom 16th percentile of Colorado districts. The school serves a high-poverty population, with roughly 76% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, and its 2025–26 state ranking places it at 859th of 943 Colorado elementary schools (9th percentile) — a sharp drop from 2023–24, when it ranked 690th (27th percentile).

The clearest bright spot is attendance. Union Colony's chronic absenteeism rate was 25.4% in 2024–25, well below the district rate of 34.6% and the state rate of 28.4%, and nearly 10 percentage points better than nearby Jackson Elementary (42.1%) and Centennial Elementary (39.2%). But better attendance has not translated into higher test scores. In 2025–26, only 20.1% of students were proficient in ELA and 17.2% in math, compared to state averages of 44.7% and 37.3%. The school does exceed the district in 3rd-grade math (24.5% vs. 22.6%), yet proficiency drops sharply by 5th grade (17.2% ELA, 12.1% math). Nearby Chappelow K-8 Magnet School outperforms Union Colony in both subjects, and Meeker Elementary, with a similar poverty rate, posts significantly stronger ELA results (31.3% vs. 20.1%).

Subgroup data reveals notable gaps. Male students ranked in the 41st percentile statewide in 2023–24, while female students ranked in the 5th percentile, and Hispanic student subgroup rankings have fallen from the 36th percentile to the 9th over three years. Science scores are also highly volatile, swinging from 29.5% proficient in 2023–24 to 8.2% the following year. With a student-teacher ratio of 20.5 — higher than most nearby elementary schools — the school faces real challenges. Still, its low absenteeism, strong 2023–24 math and science results, and past success serving male and low-income students suggest the potential for improvement is there.
