Summary

Valley View Innovation School is a small elementary school in Denver, CO, serving 183 students in grades PK-5 within the Mapleton School District No. 1, a district that ranks in the bottom 10% of Colorado. The school serves a majority low-income population (57.9% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch) and maintains a favorable 14.6:1 student-teacher ratio, lower than any of its same-district peers. Despite its small size and district context, Valley View is the clear academic leader among schools in its immediate area.

In 2025-26 CMAS testing, Valley View posted the highest all-grade proficiency rates of any nearby school. ELA proficiency was 38.6%, compared with the district average of 27.7% and state average of 44.7%. Math proficiency was 34.1%, versus the district's 20.3% and state's 37.3%. Nearby schools lagged notably: Adventure Elementary scored 28.5% in ELA and 22.8% in math, Trailside Academy scored 31.4% and 21.8%, and Welby Community School of the Arts scored 33.1% and 23.4%. Science is a standout — Valley View's 5th-grade science proficiency was 35% in 2025-26, nearly triple the district average of 12.6%, and reached 52.6% the prior year. Math also improved dramatically, jumping from 23.0% to 34.1% in a single year, while several nearby schools saw math scores decline. The school's 6th-grade results — 55.6% proficiency in both ELA and math — were far above district and state averages.

Valley View's state ranking of 478th out of 943 schools (49th percentile) is far above its district's 9th-percentile ranking, and every nearby school ranks lower — Adventure Elementary (29th percentile), Trailside Academy (32nd), and Welby (33rd). The school's main challenge is chronic absenteeism, which improved slightly to 34.8% but remains above the state rate of 28.4%. The school's state rank dipped from 67th to 49th percentile even as test scores rose, reflecting faster improvement elsewhere. Overall, Valley View is a relative bright spot — strong in science, improving in math, and leading its peers academically — provided it can sustain momentum and address attendance.
