Summary

Stukey Elementary School is a K-5 school in Northglenn, CO, serving 348 students in the Adams 12 Five Star Schools district. The school ranks 756th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools, placing it in the 20th percentile with a 1-star rating. Academically, Stukey trails district and state averages in English Language Arts, math, and science — posting 28.9% proficiency in ELA and 20.5% in math. The school serves a high-poverty population, with 87.6% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, the highest rate among nearby comparison schools. Its student-teacher ratio of 13.9 is comparatively favorable, and chronic absenteeism is 31.9%, below the district average.

Math is the school's most urgent challenge. Third graders start only about 10 points behind the state, but proficiency falls from 31.4% in 3rd grade to 16.7% in 4th and 13.0% in 5th grade — a gap that grows to more than 26 points by 5th grade. District math proficiency, by contrast, stays roughly flat across grades. Despite these struggles, Stukey achieves results comparable to or better than several less-poor neighbors. Woodglen Elementary School, with a 65.8% free/reduced lunch rate, posts nearly identical scores (28% ELA, 18% math), and Stukey outperforms Malley Drive Elementary School, Leroy Elementary, and Hillcrest Elementary School while serving a higher-need population. Chronic absenteeism is also a bright spot: at 31.9%, it's lower than Malley (36.6%), Leroy (44.0%), Hillcrest (40.3%), and Woodglen (33.0%).

Stukey shows modest signs of improvement. ELA proficiency has risen from 23.4% in 2022-2023 to 28.9% in the latest school year, and the school's statewide rank improved from 831st to 756th. Math, however, has been volatile without sustained growth. The contrast with nearby schools is stark — Hulstrom K-8, within a mile, ranks in the top 1% statewide with 92.5% ELA proficiency and just 5.9% chronic absenteeism, while STEM Lab posts 64.2% ELA proficiency. Both serve far fewer low-income students, highlighting the district's opportunity gaps. Finally, equity of progress is a concern: while the overall rank improved, the Hispanic student subgroup ranking fell from the 51st to the 25th percentile, suggesting gains aren't reaching all students evenly.
