Summary

North Mor Elementary School is a PreK–5 school in Northglenn, Colorado, serving 304 students in the Adams 12 Five Star Schools district. The school serves a high-poverty community, with 79.3% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch. Academically, North Mor is among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Colorado. Its 2025–2026 state rank fell to 892 out of 943 schools (5th percentile) with a 0-star rating — the school's lowest point in a decade. On 2025–2026 CMAS assessments, 20.9% of students scored proficient in ELA, 8.9% in math, and 7.5% in 5th-grade science, all far below district and state averages.

Math stands out as the most urgent concern. At 8.9%, North Mor's math proficiency is the lowest among same-district elementary schools with available data — below neighboring schools with similar or higher poverty levels, including Thornton Elementary School (12.3%) and Federal Heights Elementary School (11.9%). The contrast with STEM Launch is particularly striking. Located just 0.79 miles away, STEM Launch serves a nearly identical share of low-income students (78.6% vs. 79.3%) yet posted far stronger results: 32.2% in ELA, 23.1% in math, and 39.7% in 5th-grade science. North Mor also has a higher student-teacher ratio (16.0) than most nearby schools, meaning fewer adult resources per student.

Several trends bear watching. Chronic absenteeism rose from 26.3% to 32.1% in one year, though that remains better than North Star Elementary School (48.4%), Thornton Elementary School (45.9%), and McElwain Elementary School (45.5%). Math scores have slid from 12.6% proficiency in 2022–2023 to 8.9% today. Subgroup data show male students and low-income students are struggling most; low-income students ranked in the 1st percentile statewide in 2022–2023. The strong performance of STEM Launch with a similar population suggests targeted math and science interventions, attendance support, and proven instructional strategies could help turn things around.
