Jordahl Elementary School is the highest-performing school in the district, ranked 323 out of 950 Colorado elementary schools and rated 3 out of 5 stars. Jordahl significantly outperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grade levels.

These disparities suggest the district may need to examine its resource allocation and support strategies to ensure more equitable outcomes across all schools.
