Summary

Hunters Glen Elementary School, serving 491 students in grades PK–5 in Thornton, CO, is part of Adams 12 Five Star Schools and currently holds a 2-star rating at the 44th percentile statewide. The school sits in the lower-middle tier of Colorado elementary schools, with just over half of its students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. While the district itself ranks mid-pack among Colorado districts, Hunters Glen's ranking slipped from the 56th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 44th percentile in 2025–2026, meaning the school has lost ground relative to both the district and the state in recent years.

The school has some clear bright spots worth noting. Chronic absenteeism is a standout strength — Hunters Glen's rate of 16.7% is far below the district rate of 32.2% and state rate of 28.4%, and it is among the best of nearby elementary schools. Only STEM Lab (11.2%) and Hulstrom K-8 (5.9%) post better attendance numbers in the area. Fifth-grade science is another strong point: 38.7% of students scored proficient on the CMAS Science test, beating the district (35.6%) and state (36.1%) averages, and trailing only STEM Lab and Hulstrom K-8 among nearby schools. Science proficiency has climbed from just 11.7% three years ago.

The main challenges are in ELA and math, where Hunters Glen trails district and state averages. ELA proficiency is 35.8% (vs. 42.3% district and 44.7% state), and math is 34.4% (vs. 35.5% district and 37.3% state). Fourth grade is a particular concern — only 25% of 4th graders are proficient in math, compared to 39% statewide — while 5th graders perform considerably better in both subjects. The school's effectiveness for most student subgroups has declined since 2023–2024, though it remains relatively stronger for low-income students. In the context of nearby schools, Hunters Glen sits below Prairie Hills Elementary School, Eagleview Elementary School, Tarver Elementary School, STEM Lab, and Hulstrom K-8, but comfortably above Malley Drive Elementary School and Woodglen Elementary School. Without the attendance challenges that weigh down some peers, Hunters Glen has a strong foundation to build on if it can replicate its science gains in literacy and math.
