Monfort Elementary School

Summary:

Monfort Elementary School is a public elementary school in Greeley, Colorado, serving 343 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Greeley School District No. 6, which is ranked 97 out of 116 school districts in Colorado and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Monfort Elementary School faces several challenges, including consistently low academic performance. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (54.52%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, and it consistently underperforms the Greeley School District and the state of Colorado in various CMAS assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 20.6% of Monfort students were proficient or better in CMAS/English Language Arts, compared to 28.1% for the Greeley School District and 44.1% for the state. Additionally, Monfort's rankings for specific student groups, such as female students, male students, and white students, are consistently in the bottom quartile of Colorado elementary schools, indicating significant achievement gaps.

Monfort Elementary School's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.82% to 64.72% over the past three school years, suggests a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. When compared to nearby schools within the Greeley School District, such as S. Christa McAuliffe STEM Academy, Monfort is one of the lower-performing schools, consistently underperforming in CMAS assessments and having a lower statewide ranking. Addressing the challenges faced by Monfort Elementary School will require a comprehensive approach that considers the unique needs of the school's student population and the broader context of the Greeley School District.

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.
