Better than 11% of Colorado elementary schools

Summary

Union Colony Elementary School is a public charter school located in Evans, Colorado, serving 329 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Greeley School District No. 6, which is ranked 100 out of 115 districts in Colorado and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Union Colony Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools, with a 1-star rating for most of the past 10 years.

The school faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently underperforming test scores compared to the district and state averages, and struggles to effectively serve its high-needs student population. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 18.7% of Union Colony Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 44.8% statewide. Similarly, only 12.2% were proficient or better in Math, compared to 35.9% statewide. When compared to nearby schools like Chappelow K-8 Magnet School, Union Colony Elementary consistently underperforms on key metrics.

Despite being a charter school, Union Colony Elementary has not shown significant improvement in its performance over the past 10 years. Its rankings and ratings have remained in the bottom tier of Colorado elementary schools, with little progress made. The school's challenges in serving its disadvantaged student population, including those from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and English language learners, suggest a need for substantial improvements to better support the academic and social-emotional needs of its students.
