Summary

Wiley Elementary School is a small, rural pre-kindergarten through fifth-grade school in Wiley, Colorado, serving 155 students as part of the Wiley School District No. Re-13 Jt. Despite its modest size, the school consistently outperforms both its district and the state of Colorado in English Language Arts, math, and science. In the 2025-2026 school year, Wiley ranked 339th of 943 Colorado elementary schools, placing it in the 64th percentile and earning a 3-star rating — a position it has held in four of the past five years.

Wiley stands out dramatically when compared to schools in the nearby Lamar School District No. Re-2. Just eight miles away, Parkview Elementary School posted only 19.7% ELA and 8.5% math proficiency, while Wiley achieved 52.1% and 43.8%, respectively. Wiley also leads its own district by wide margins — about 10 points in ELA and 9 points in math. The school is competitive with McClave Elementary School, the region's top performer in the McClave School District No. Re-2, though Wiley trails McClave in math (43.8% vs. 57.4%). Interestingly, Alta Vista Charter School matches Wiley's overall proficiency and percentile, but Wiley serves a higher-poverty population (59.35% free/reduced lunch vs. 44.36%), making its results especially noteworthy.

Wiley's success appears rooted in strong attendance and small class sizes. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 8.8% is dramatically below the state rate of 28.4% and far better than nearby Washington Elementary School (42.9%) and Parkview (27.9%). A favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.8 also supports individualized attention. Wiley has shown resilience as well: as free/reduced lunch rates jumped from roughly 35% to nearly 60% since 2022-23, academic performance improved rather than declined. Science is a particular success story, with 5th-grade proficiency rising from 22.7% to 50% — well above the 36.1% state average. The main watch item is 3rd-grade reading, where proficiency (36%) trails the state (40.8%), suggesting early literacy is an area worth monitoring.
