Maplewood Elementary School

Summary:

Maplewood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Greeley, Colorado, serving 559 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (69.05%) and a high percentage (over 90%) of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantages.

Maplewood Elementary School has consistently struggled with academic performance, ranking in the bottom 20% of Colorado elementary schools. On the Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) tests, the school's performance is significantly below the state and Greeley School District No. 6 averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 12.1% of Maplewood students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 44.1% statewide and 28.1% in the district. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with only 3.8% of students proficient or better, compared to 34.2% statewide and 19% in the district.

While the nearby Monfort Elementary, Meeker Elementary, and Jackson Elementary schools generally perform better than Maplewood Elementary on academic measures, they still struggle compared to state averages. This suggests that the challenges faced by Maplewood Elementary may be systemic within the Greeley School District, and a more comprehensive approach to addressing educational inequities may be necessary.

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.
