Summary

Boulder Oaks Elementary serves 367 students in grades 1–5 in Alpine, within Alpine Union Elementary, which SchoolDigger ranks at the 63rd percentile statewide with 3 stars. The most urgent academic concern is fifth-grade ELA: 32% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 49% statewide and 45% in the district, and this was the lowest result among six comparable nearby K–5 schools.

Science is the school’s weakest subject overall: 22% were proficient, 14 percentage points below the state and 12 below the district; the five nearby K–5 peers averaged 37%. Math is the relative bright spot against the state, with 40% proficiency—2 points above the state—but it was 1 point below the district and 2 below the nearby-peer average. ELA proficiency was 42%, below the state by 7 points, the district by 2, and the nearby-peer average by 4. There is a brighter grade-level result: third-grade ELA proficiency was 50%, 6 points above the state and 2 above the district.

Results over time are mixed: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, science proficiency fell by 10 percentage points, while ELA and math each declined by about 1 point. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking also slipped from the 62nd percentile and 3 stars in 2024–2025 to the 49th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026. One subgroup result stands out: SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students fell from the 63rd percentile to the 29th, now 20 points below the school’s overall percentile. For context, the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 22.9, close to the nearby average of 22.3, and 40% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025.
