Heiman Elementary School

Summary:

Heiman Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Evans, Colorado, serving 591 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Greeley School District No. 6, which is ranked 97 out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Heiman Elementary faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 62.77% Hispanic, significantly higher than the state average. The school consistently underperforms the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 16% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 44.1% statewide. Heiman's student subgroups, such as female students, male students, Hispanic students, and low socioeconomic status students, all rank very low compared to their peers in Colorado, indicating significant achievement gaps. As a result, Heiman Elementary has been ranked in the bottom 20% of Colorado elementary schools for the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While nearby schools in the Greeley School District, such as Scott Elementary, Union Colony Elementary, and Chappelow K-8 Magnet School, also underperform the state averages, they have significantly better test scores and rankings than Heiman. This suggests that the high percentage of disadvantaged students at Heiman, including those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, may be contributing to the school's persistent underperformance, which has remained stagnant or even declined over the past several years.

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.
