Summary

Range View Elementary in Severance, CO, serves 584 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Weld County Reorganized School District No. Re-4, a strong Colorado district ranked 19th out of 115 (4 stars). The school itself earns a more modest 3-star rating, ranking 416th out of 943 elementary schools (56th percentile). Among nearby options, Range View sits below Grandview Elementary, Orchard Hill Elementary, Mountain View Elementary, and American Legacy Academy, but above Skyview Elementary and Hollister Lake Elementary.

Range View's clearest strength is attendance: 11.6% chronic absenteeism, far better than the district average (17.4%) and less than half the state average (28.4%). Those strong attendance numbers, however, do not translate into standout academics. Bethke Elementary, with a similarly low absenteeism rate, posts some of the region's highest test scores (76% ELA, 70.4% math), while Range View hovers near state averages. The most urgent red flag is 4th grade: just 34.4% proficient in ELA and 29.2% in math, compared with district averages of 50.7% and 44.3%. That's the lowest 4th-grade performance among nearby elementary schools — Grandview Elementary, for example, reaches 61% in 4th-grade math, a 32-point gap. Importantly, 3rd-grade scores sit near state averages and 5th-grade ELA exceeds the district average, suggesting a 4th-grade-specific issue rather than a schoolwide problem.

Range View also serves a growing share of economically disadvantaged families; the free/reduced lunch rate climbed from 20.79% in 2022-2023 to 32.71% in 2024-2025. Over that same period, the school's low-income students saw a dramatic shift in statewide ranking, from the 93rd percentile in 2024-2025 to the 20th percentile in 2025-2026. The school's overall percentile has drifted from 75th a decade ago to 56th today. Science remains a relative bright spot: 5th-grade proficiency (43%) tops the state average (36.1%) but trails the district average (47%). Parents considering Range View may want to ask how the school plans to support 4th graders and economically disadvantaged students.

I would not recomend this school to anyone. The child I nanny had problems all year. Parents had many many conferences with teacher and even involved the principal. Nothing happened. Parents and I were willing to help the child at home as child was struggling in a couple areas. Requested work to do with child at home - nver happened. Teacher told the class one day their writing was so boring it put her to sleep! Who says this to a class of second graders?????? I have been involved in the educational system for over 30 years - in all my time I have never run into a teacher or principal who were unwilling to help. Close Quote

Range View Elementary school does not address problems when they occur. They are wishy washy and do not like to admit a problem. Problem with current teacher has been going on all year. Have not been able to get teacher to help a child who is struggling. Lack of communication from teachers and principal. Principal does not seem to want to take a stand and help parents. I would not suggest this school to anyone. Test scores are dropping and I do not see any effort in this particular classroom to solve any issues. Very unhappy child. Not what I like to see Close Quote
