Summary

Columbine Elementary School is a public elementary school in Boulder, Colorado, serving 394 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Boulder Valley School District, which is ranked 8th out of 115 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the district and state generally perform well, Columbine Elementary School consistently underperforms on academic assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 35.2% of Columbine students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 65.6% for the district and 44.8% for the state. In Math, just 28.2% of Columbine students were proficient, versus 55.1% for the district and 35.9% for the state. Columbine also has a much higher chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7%, well above the district and state averages. Additionally, the school struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, such as Gifted and Talented students.

Interestingly, nearby Eisenhower Elementary, Creekside Elementary, and High Peaks Elementary schools within the same district consistently outperform Columbine on academic assessments and have much lower chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that Columbine may need to explore targeted interventions and support systems to address the unique needs of its student population, which has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
