Summary

Woodmen-Roberts Elementary School is a PK–5 public elementary school in Colorado Springs, CO, serving 381 students as part of Academy School District No. 20, one of the top-rated districts in the state. The school has earned 4 or 5 stars in eight of the last ten reported years. It ranked 92nd out of 950 Colorado elementary schools in 2024–2025 (90th percentile) and 195th out of 943 in 2025–2026 (79th percentile) — still comfortably above the state median. In 2025–2026, proficiency rates were 64.7% in English language arts, 53.4% in math, and 58.1% in 5th-grade science, versus state averages of 44.7%, 37.3%, and 36.1%.

One of the school's biggest strengths is attendance: only 10.9% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, far below the district rate of 19.7% and the statewide rate of 28.4%. Reading is a clear standout, with all-grades ELA proficiency above 60% since at least 2022–2023 and 4th graders hitting 75.9% in 2025–2026. Science is a signature subject, with 5th-grade proficiency well above state levels. Math is solid relative to the state but slightly below the district average, with the gap concentrated in 3rd and 4th grades. The school also offers a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.6, better than nearby Foothills Elementary (15.3) and Rockrimmon Elementary (16.5).

The school sits in a competitive cluster of high-performing elementary schools. In 2025–2026, Foothills Elementary (rank 78) and Rockrimmon Elementary (rank 136) ranked slightly higher, while Mountain View Elementary (rank 338) and High Plains Elementary (rank 602) ranked lower. Across town, Chipeta Elementary in Colorado Springs School District No. 11 — just 2.67 miles away — outranked the school at 47th statewide. The recent rank dip appears largely math-driven, particularly in 3rd grade. That said, low-income students at this school ranked in the 93rd percentile statewide in 2023–2024, and strong attendance supports academic resilience. With its long track record, the school remains a strong choice among Colorado Springs elementary options.

Open Quote This school is run by mean girls who grew up to be mean moms.

The academics are average. Look up the state tests. They don't shine in any area. They fully embrace the IB "attitude" which if you think that's the cat's meow, you'll agree. However, the IB "attitude" is NOT one of inclusion. If you are a new transfer to this school, you WILL be excluded from everything social. We have more than one child in this school and we moved from another school in another state. In two school years, our children have been invited to 1 party and no informal social get-togethers. I've invited kids time after time after time to birthday parties and playing at the park or our house and every time I'm told "no". It's not that they don't have parties, they do. But, they ONLY invite certain kids and your kid gets to hear about it and come home in tears. And the tears when no one comes to their party. Lots of tears. It was not like this at our other school which was very inclusive and my kids were constantly invited to things.

The school is moving toward a more tech approach to teaching (more time on computers). One of our kids tests above-grade. Instead of having more instruction from his teacher, he gets an iPad handed to him. If I'm going to have my kids taught by an iPad, why do I send them to school? The answer was for socialization. However, at this school, unless the mean moms accept your kid, there is no socialization. One of my kids constantly talked about another kid in class. I asked that mom if we could get to the kids together. Not only did she tersely tell me no, the next day her kid told my kid they weren't allowed to be friends because he already had "too many" friends. Yes, you read that right. A mother told her kid not to play with another kid at school because the other kid was new.

The school pretends to like new comers. They even have a "welcome committee". Hahaha! And, the new principal (in her second year) tries to include everyone. However, she seems to be a puppet to the interests of a select, very vocal, few parents who have a knack for demanding things and getting their demands met. And guess who those parents are...the mean moms. This will be our last year at Woodmen-Roberts. It will be a pain to drive our kids to another school out of our neighborhood but given that they have no friends, I don't think they are going to miss the school at all. Close Quote
