Denver Green School Southeast

Summary:

Denver Green School Southeast is a public elementary school serving 523 students in grades K-8 in the southeast region of Denver, Colorado. The school's diverse student population includes 27.92% White, 23.14% African American, 32.5% Hispanic, and other racial groups.

Despite its diverse student body, Denver Green School Southeast consistently underperforms compared to district and state averages on standardized tests. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were just 29.3% in English Language Arts, 14.2% in Math, and 17.2% in 5th grade Science, significantly lower than the Denver Public Schools district averages of 40.7%, 31.2%, and 32.7%, respectively, and the state averages of 44.1%, 34.2%, and 37.9%. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 356 out of 917 Colorado elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 822 out of 943 in 2023-2024, earning it a 1-star rating.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the same district, such as Montclair School of Academics and Enrichment, Ellis Elementary School, and Lowry Elementary School, also struggle academically, with similar or lower proficiency rates. However, some schools outside the Denver Public Schools district, such as Challenge School and Denver Language School, perform significantly better, with proficiency rates well above the district and state averages.

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.
