Summary

Crest View Elementary School is a K–5 neighborhood school in Boulder, CO, serving 390 students as part of the highly regarded Boulder Valley School District No. Re2. The school consistently earns a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and currently ranks in the 71st percentile statewide — solidly above average, though surrounded by some of Colorado's very strongest elementary schools. Crest View outperforms the state average in English language arts, math, and science, but trails its own district average by roughly 7 to 10 percentage points in each subject.

Many of Crest View's neighbors post stronger results. High Peaks Elementary School, Eisenhower Elementary School, and Boulder Community School/Integrated Studies rank in the 96th percentile or above, while Creekside Elementary School at Martin Park, Foothill Elementary School, and Flatirons Elementary School follow close behind. Crest View's overall rank is similar to Whittier Elementary School and University Hill Elementary School, and well above Columbine Elementary School. The school serves a more traditional neighborhood population than the magnet and choice programs nearby, with about 36% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. One concern is a gradual math decline: in 2022–2023, Crest View's math proficiency was actually above the district's, but it has since fallen about 8 points behind. Fifth grade is a particular focus, with math proficiency 17 points below the district average. Chronic absenteeism is also elevated, at about 25% compared to roughly 18% districtwide.

The greatest opportunity for improvement lies in closing the achievement gap for economically disadvantaged students. While Crest View Elementary School is strong overall, its outcomes for low-income students rank in the 12th percentile statewide — a stark contrast with the school's 71st-percentile ranking. Attendance appears closely tied to this challenge, and nearby schools with lower poverty and better attendance, like High Peaks and Foothill, post much higher proficiency rates. Still, Crest View has a solid foundation: a stable 4-star rating, strong results for many students, and a decade-long statewide percentile in the 65-to-80 range. For families choosing a school, Crest View is a good, stable neighborhood option that would benefit most from renewed attention to attendance and math support in the upper grades.
