Summary

Haxtun Elementary School is a small rural school in Haxtun, Colorado, serving 155 students in grades PK–6 under the Haxtun School District No. Re-2J. One of its clearest strengths is attendance: only 9.2% of students were chronically absent in 2024-2025, far below the state rate of 28.4%, and also better than nearby Holyoke Elementary School (16.1%) while being only slightly higher than Fleming Elementary School (7.3%). The student-teacher ratio of 12.5 is low, and about 40% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch — a figure that sits between Holyoke’s 63% and Fleming’s 21% but has been rising steadily over the past three years.

Academically, Haxtun stands out for reading. In 2024-2025, 52.1% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, well above the state average of 44.8% and dramatically higher than Holyoke (27.5%) and Fleming (30.0%). Even after dropping to 38.2% in 2025-2026, Haxtun still outpaced both neighbors and remained close to the state average. Math is a weaker spot: 33.8% proficiency in 2024-2025 and 30.4% in 2025-2026, trailing the state (35.9% and 37.3%, respectively), though still ahead of Holyoke and roughly even with Fleming. Science has also been a bright spot, with 5th graders hitting 52.4% proficiency in 2024-2025, well above the state’s 39.0%.

These results come with a caveat: Haxtun’s small class sizes lead to dramatic year-to-year swings, so any single year’s rating should be read cautiously. For example, the school ranked in the 55th percentile in 2024-2025 but only the 42nd percentile in 2025-2026 — even though Fleming, which currently ranks higher, posted lower proficiency scores in both reading and math. Overall, Haxtun Elementary School offers a supportive, well-attended environment and competitive literacy outcomes for a rural school. Its main challenges are stabilizing math performance and managing the effects of rising economic need in the community, though its low student-teacher ratio and strong local comparisons give families reason for optimism.
