Summary

Skyview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Thornton, Colorado, serving 356 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Adams 12 Five Star Schools district, which is ranked 52 out of 115 districts in the state.

Skyview Elementary consistently performs below the district and state averages on CMAS assessments for English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 29.6% in ELA, 21.1% in Math, and 28.1% in 5th grade Science, compared to the district's 42.2%, 34.2%, and 39.5%, respectively. The school's performance has been stagnant, with its statewide ranking ranging between 519 and 707 out of 950 Colorado elementary schools over the past 10 years, and it has consistently been rated 1 or 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. Skyview Elementary's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as female, male, and low-income students, who rank in the bottom 10-15% of Colorado elementary schools.
