Summary

Silverthorne Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Silverthorne, Colorado, with 349 students. While the school is part of the Summit School District No. Re 1, which is ranked 36 out of 115 school districts in Colorado, Silverthorne Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Colorado elementary schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates on CMAS tests significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, Silverthorne's 5th grade science proficiency was 24.1%, compared to the district's 45.5% and the state's 39%. Additionally, Silverthorne Elementary has had very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.7% to 40.8% in recent years, much higher than the state average. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.26% to 53.51% in recent years, significantly higher than the nearby Breckenridge Elementary School, Upper Blue Elementary School, and Frisco Elementary School.

Despite having a lower student-teacher ratio compared to other schools in the district, Silverthorne Elementary's performance gap has steadily widened over the years, from ranking 626 out of 938 Colorado elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 772 out of 950 schools in 2024-2025. The school's performance is particularly low for female students and white students, ranking in the bottom quarter of Colorado schools for these subgroups. These concerning trends suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying challenges facing Silverthorne Elementary School and its students.
