Summary

Holyoke Elementary School is a rural K-6 school in Holyoke, CO, serving 281 students in the Holyoke School District No. Re-1J, where about 63% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch and the student-teacher ratio is a favorable 11.5:1.

The school's statewide ranking has historically hovered around the 21st percentile, but it jumped to the 38th percentile in 2025-26 — its best showing in available data. English language arts proficiency rose to 33.5%, above the district rate of 31.4% but below the state's 44.7%. Science is a bright spot, with 5th graders reaching 51.6% proficiency versus the state average of 36.1%. Math remains the most urgent weakness, especially in 4th grade, where just 13% of students are proficient. Nearby Haxtun Elementary School posts stronger ELA and all-grades math scores, but Holyoke is improving faster — Haxtun dropped from the 55th to 42nd percentile while Holyoke climbed from 22nd to 38th.

Holyoke shows notable strength with economically disadvantaged students, who ranked at the 51st percentile statewide in 2025-26 — well above the school's overall 38th percentile. A significant gender gap persists, however, with female students ranking roughly 13 percentile points higher than males. Chronic absenteeism improved from 20.1% to 16.1%, far better than the state's 28.4%, though Haxtun's rate of 9.2% shows more progress is possible. If Holyoke maintains its current trajectory, it could soon overtake Haxtun in overall ranking despite serving a more disadvantaged population.
