Summary

Birch Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Broomfield, Colorado, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 314. It is part of the highly-rated Boulder Valley School District No. Re2, which is ranked 8th out of 115 districts in Colorado and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Birch Elementary consistently performs above the state average in CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) assessments for English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. In 2024-2025, Birch's proficiency rates were 58.6% in ELA and 53.3% in Math, compared to the state averages of 44.8% and 35.9%, respectively. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7 in 2023-2024, which may contribute to its academic success. However, Birch Elementary has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates in recent years, reaching 27.7% in 2023-2024, an area of concern the school may need to address.

Birch Elementary generally outperforms the nearby schools in the Boulder Valley School District, such as Aspen Creek K-8 School and Kohl Elementary, in terms of academic proficiency rates. However, it lags behind some high-performing schools in the Adams 12 Five Star Schools district, such as Meridian Elementary and Coyote Ridge Elementary.
