Summary

Eagle Ridge Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lone Tree, Colorado, serving 587 students in grades PK-6. It is part of the highly-ranked Douglas County School District No. Re 1, which is rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. Over the past 10 years, Eagle Ridge Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Colorado elementary schools, with a current ranking of 232 out of 950 schools.

Eagle Ridge Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the state average in CMAS assessments across all grades and subjects. In 2024-2025, the school had 56.3% of students proficient or better in ELA and 55.5% in Math, compared to the state averages of 44.8% and 35.9%, respectively. The school also performs exceptionally well for its Hispanic student population, ranking 16th out of 247 Colorado elementary schools for this subgroup in 2024-2025. Despite an increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 19.93% in 2021-2022 to 30.15% in 2023-2024, the school has maintained its academic success, likely due in part to its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16 to 17.8 over the past three years.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Douglas County School District, such as Platte River Charter Academy, Redstone Elementary, and Lone Tree Elementary, Eagle Ridge Elementary generally performs on par or slightly below the top-performing schools, but it consistently outperforms the district and state averages. The school has faced some challenges, such as a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 17.1% in 2022-2023 to 27.7% in 2023-2024, which is an area of concern that the school and district should address.

Open Quote My friend's kid goes to this school and just heard about a very disturbing story that happened to her son as a disciplinary action this past Monday. Apparently they were out on field day (Pre-k) and to correct his behavior they locked him in a closet. When the principle was confronted their response was "Did he tell you what he did? What can we do to improve our school?" No action a child can do deserves to be treated this way! You typically lock a dog up if they misbehave but not a human being, not a 5yr old child. So upset by this incident. Close Quote

Open Quote My Daughter has done poorly in this school. I have four children, my youngest daughter currently attend. When my old children attended this school it was great. The teacher's were really experenced and loved to teach. Now the teachers are all newer teachers or burned out. They seem stressed and unhappy. My daughter struggles with math and has received poor support. She is continually stressed out, is on acid reduction medication for anxiety. She says her math teacher makes her feel stupid and doesn't feel comfortable asking him questions. We are counting the days until 6th grade ends. We look forward to a new school that will hopefully renew our daughters love for learn and build her self confidence. Close Quote

Open Quote I went to this school for 7 years. The food was absolutely awful! However, I would say 7 out of 10 teachers are nice. Which is good I guess... Also, there are a lot of strange students in my opinion. I would not really recommend this school for anyone the least bit different. Although, I was never bullied or was a bully, I saw a lot of bullying. So this school is not really bad. Just not the best in my opinion. Even though you may learn a lot by the brilliant teachers the students here are pretty rude and the food sucks. Close Quote
