Summary

Woodglen Elementary School is a PK-5 school in Thornton, CO, serving 383 students in the Adams 12 Five Star Schools district. Woodglen currently holds a 1-star rating from the state, placing it in the 16th percentile among Colorado elementary schools—a notable drop from its already low rankings in recent years. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with over 65% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Woodglen is significantly behind both district and state averages. Only 28% of students are proficient in English Language Arts and just 18% are proficient in math, while 5th-grade science proficiency sits at a concerning 15.7%. Within its immediate cluster of schools, Woodglen performs better than only Leroy Elementary and Malley Drive Elementary. Strikingly, nearby schools serving similar levels of economic disadvantage, such as Stellar Elementary and Riverdale Elementary, post substantially higher test scores. The contrast is even starker when compared to Hulstrom K-8 and STEM Lab, which rank among the highest-performing schools in the state.

Woodglen faces several specific challenges. Math proficiency is especially weak; for example, only 13.7% of 3rd graders are proficient in math compared to 41.5% statewide. Chronic absenteeism has also jumped to 33.0%, meaning roughly one in three students is missing significant school time. This rise in absenteeism has coincided with a multi-year academic decline, including a drop of nearly 20 percentage points in 5th-grade science scores over four years. While these challenges are substantial, the presence of high-performing schools within the same district and geographic area demonstrates that stronger outcomes are achievable in this community.
