Eva R Baca Elementary School faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.7% to 43.0% in recent years, which is much higher than the state and district averages. The school's performance on CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) tests is also consistently below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

The school's performance on CMAS tests for specific student subgroups, such as female students and low-socioeconomic status students, is also consistently lower than the state and district averages for those subgroups. Over the past several years, Eva R Baca Elementary School's statewide ranking has steadily declined, from 669 out of 921 Colorado elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 814 out of 950 in 2024-2025, suggesting the school is not keeping pace with improvements in other schools across the state.
