Summary

Parkview Elementary School serves 252 students in grades 3–5 in Lamar, Colorado, a small eastern plains community within the Lamar School District No. Re-2. The school serves a high-poverty population, with 83.7% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Parkview's academic performance is very low by state standards: the school currently ranks in the 5th percentile of Colorado elementary schools (893rd out of 943) and received a 0-star rating for 2025–2026. State test scores show just 19.7% of students proficient in English Language Arts, 8.5% proficient in math, and 11.3% proficient in science.

The contrast with nearby schools is striking. Wiley Elementary School, just 7.9 miles away, posts 52.1% ELA proficiency and 43.8% math proficiency, while McClave Elementary School (13.4 miles away) reaches 59% ELA and 57.4% math. Even Granada Elementary School (16.9 miles away) outperforms Parkview with 41% ELA and 26.6% math proficiency, and Alta Vista Charter School, a district school only 3.5 miles away, achieves 50% ELA and 41.9% math. Parkview's math performance has collapsed in recent years, dropping from 25.2% proficiency in 2022–2023 to 8.5% today, and its state ranking has declined from the 41st percentile in 2015–2016 to the 5th percentile now.

Attendance and resources compound the academic challenges. Parkview's chronic absenteeism is 27.9%, far higher than Wiley Elementary School (8.8%), McClave Elementary School (5.5%), or Alta Vista Charter School (4.4%). The school also has the highest student-teacher ratio in the area at 16.2 students per teacher, despite serving a high-need population. Washington Elementary School, the same-district K–2 school that feeds into Parkview, carries an even higher poverty rate (86.5%) and chronic absenteeism (42.9%), suggesting attendance and learning gaps begin early and are already entrenched by the time students arrive at Parkview.
