Martinez Elementary School

Summary:

Martinez Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Greeley, Colorado, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 463. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student body, with 86.61% Hispanic students in the 2022-2023 school year, and has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Colorado elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Martinez Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (86.61%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 47.62% to 81.4% Hispanic students. The school consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages on CMAS tests, with only 23% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 12.7% proficient or better in Math, compared to state averages of 44.1% and 34.2%, respectively. Martinez Elementary's performance is particularly low for male students and low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the bottom quartile of Colorado elementary schools for these subgroups. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 87.44% to 94.87% over the past three school years, significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 41.27% to 91.23%.

Despite being located within a few miles of several other elementary schools in the Greeley School District, such as Union Colony Elementary and Jackson Elementary, which have significantly higher academic proficiency rates, Martinez Elementary consistently underperforms its neighbors. The school's lack of improvement over time and the potential challenges posed by its high poverty rates suggest a need for targeted interventions and support programs to address the specific needs of its student population 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.
