Green Valley Elementary School

Summary:

Green Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Denver, Colorado, serving around 660 students in grades PK-5. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 6.97% White, 23.03% African American, 57.27% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other races.

Despite its diverse student body, Green Valley Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Colorado elementary schools, with significantly lower academic performance than the district and state averages. On the 2023-2024 CMAS assessments, only 23.7% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 40.7% for the district and 44.1% for the state. In math, the proficiency rate was just 17.9%, compared to 31.2% for the district and 34.2% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for African American and Hispanic students.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Lena Archuleta Elementary, which is also in the School District No. 1, Green Valley Elementary's academic performance is significantly lower across the board. The school's consistently low performance over the past 10 years, coupled with its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (78.77% to 81.97% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch), suggest that the school faces persistent challenges in improving student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
