Summary

Broomfield High School is a large comprehensive high school in Broomfield, Colorado, serving approximately 1,693 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Boulder Valley School District.

The school's most outstanding feature is its graduation rate, which reached 96.3% in 2024–25—well above the state average of 85.6%—and dropout rates have remained extremely low at 0.2–0.7% in recent years. Broomfield also earns a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking 90th out of 338 Colorado high schools. However, academic test scores tell a more mixed story. While the school exceeds state averages on most exams, it trails its own district significantly: SAT Reading/Writing proficiency is 69% (state 60%, district 80%), and SAT Math is 42% (state 32%, district 56%). Science proficiency has been volatile, dropping from 59% in 2023–24 to 30.5% in 2025–26. Chronic absenteeism sits at 21.3%, above the district's 17.5% but below the state's 28.4%.

Broomfield graduates students at rates nearly identical to nearby Monarch High School (96.4%) and Centaurus High School (95.7%), but both of those schools post substantially higher test scores and rankings—Monarch ranks 22nd in the state and Centaurus 43rd, compared to Broomfield's 90th. Against Mountain Range High School, Broomfield is clearly stronger, with better graduation outcomes and a 21.3% chronic absenteeism rate versus Mountain Range's 44.4%. Broomfield serves a moderate poverty rate (24.7% free/reduced lunch eligibility) and shows notable strengths supporting special education, disabled, and low-income students, though gifted and talented students rank only at the 42nd percentile statewide—suggesting the school excels at support but may be less effective at enrichment for high achievers. For families, Broomfield offers a dependable, comprehensive high school experience with exceptional completion outcomes in a competitive local field.

What people are saying

Thursday, November 30, 2023

Last school year, Broomfield High School allowed our 9th-grade son to play video games in class, on his school-issued Chromebook, nearly every day for the first three quarters of the year. In the fourth quarter, the school allowed him to skip class 63 times—yes, 63, not a typo—all the while he was inside the school building (cafeteria, library), continuing to play video games, hour after hour, day after day, using BHS technology. He ended his freshman year at Broomfield High School with over 70 missing assignments and two failed classes.

The school did not initiate contact to discuss any concern for the direction our son was heading, attendance, rule violations, discipline (there was literally none), possible interventions or supports—as though the staff was unaware, or unconcerned. We, the parents, drove the attempts at resolution, with little response from the school.

“This school is teaching kids a reality that exists nowhere,” said a BHS staff member, toward the end of the year.

Though this is our home high school, and close to our home, we will not send our son—or our other two children—to Broomfield High School. Close Quote

Mrs. Ramsey, the principal of the high school, is one of the best principals around. She is comletely dedicated to the students. She appears to attend every school function. She is open and inviting and yet able to command respect and leads the school in good and bad times. We love the school! Close Quote
