Summary

Heatherwood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Boulder, Colorado, serving 255 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Boulder Valley School District, which is ranked 8th out of 115 districts in the state.

Heatherwood Elementary is a strong-performing school, consistently outperforming the state average on CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) testing, with 64% of students proficient or better in ELA and 61.9% in Math in 2024-2025, compared to state averages of 44.8% and 35.9% respectively. The school's performance for female and male students, as well as white students, is also strong compared to state averages. However, Heatherwood has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13% in 2021-2022 to 27.7% in 2023-2024, an area the school should address.

While Heatherwood's performance is generally stronger than nearby schools in the Boulder Valley School District, such as Eisenhower Elementary and Douglass Elementary, there are also some exceptionally high-performing schools in the area, like High Peaks Elementary and Boulder Community School/Integrated Studies, which outperform Heatherwood across most metrics.
