While the school has a unique student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (52%) and African American (26%) students compared to nearby schools, it consistently underperforms academically. Center for Talent Development at Greenlee's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (21.6%) and Math (9.3%) are significantly lower than the district (40.7% and 31.2%) and state (44.1% and 34.2%) averages.

Despite its low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.8 to 13.2, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Colorado elementary schools over the past several years.

Interestingly, while the nearby schools also serve a high-need student population, they generally outperform Center for Talent Development at Greenlee in academic proficiency. For example, Valdez Elementary School, which is just 1.9 miles away, has over 90% of its students meeting or exceeding standards in both English Language Arts and Math. These comparisons suggest that the academic challenges at Center for Talent Development at Greenlee may be due to systemic issues or resource disparities that need to be addressed to support student learning and improve educational 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.
