Summary

Kohl Elementary School is a small, consistently strong PK-5 public school in Broomfield, CO, serving 273 students as part of the highly ranked Boulder Valley School District Re2. In 2025-2026, Kohl ranked 163rd of 943 Colorado elementary schools (83rd percentile) and earned its latest in a long string of 4-star ratings, placing it above state averages in every tested subject.

For parents, the clearest academic strength is math. Kohl has beaten its district average in math every recent year, often by wide margins — most recently 58.9% proficiency versus the district's 46.5%. ELA is strong too but more variable, jumping from 55.8% in 2024-2025 to 69.4% in 2025-2026. Attendance is another standout asset: at 12.1%, chronic absenteeism is less than half the state average of 28.4% and lower than every nearby same-district school. The contrast with Emerald Elementary, just half a mile away, is striking — Kohl outperforms it by roughly 17 points in ELA, 21 points in math, and 10 points in science. Kohl also matches the much larger Aspen Creek K-8 in overall state ranking while posting far stronger math scores.

The biggest area for improvement is elementary science. Kohl's 5th-grade science proficiency was 42.9% in 2025-2026, well below the district's 55.5%, and this gap has persisted for several years. A soft spot in 4th-grade math and ELA also appeared in 2025-2026, though with only 273 students, this could simply reflect a single challenging cohort. Overall, Kohl is a reliably above-average school — solid, stable, and strong in math and attendance — but not an elite outlier, and families should expect normal year-to-year fluctuations given its small size.

Our children have attended Kohl for the last three years and we are very impressed with the amount of care that comes from the teachers, office and principal. My son had come from District 50 and that was a horrifying experience. He went from being almost a full year behind compared to all the other students, to fully catching up and thriving. They are constantly adding to the playgrounds and making great updates to the school. The quality of the school lunches is leaps and bounds above any other I've seen in the state, including organic local produce, milk, and I haven't seen anything but whole grains(never white bread or anything). Teachers communicate closely with parents and are very proactive to ensure students aren't falling behind and get them the help they need. One thing in particular I really like, is that the kids aren't pressured to SELL SELL SELL cheap products to get funding for the school. Kohl is much more creative in getting extra funding and it doesn't feel like such a hassle. We aren't moving from our area because this is the school we want all of our kids to be at and thrive. We love it here. Close Quote

We moved from out of state. I did a lot of research to find a good school. BVSD kept coming up as a great district. So far we have not been disappointed! My daughter has special needs (high functioning autism and transgender) that need to be handled in a sensitive manner. I was very nervous about finding a school that would respect her and support her needs. The principal is amazing. She is open, collaborative and really seems to care about her students, staff and the school. She is very involved. She immediately put our minds at ease about supporting our daughter and works with us to ensure her safety and success. We are very impressed with the quality and robustness of the Kohl curriculum and staff. Both of my kids' teachers (even specials!) are dedicated and easy to work with. Great parent involvement. Many opportunities: choir, unicycle club, student council, instrumental music, and other clubs! My kids are thriving! My daughter has made such progress with her reading intervention teacher and she is enjoying reading now! We are so pleased with Kohl! The only complaint I have is the high number of students per class. 2nd grade has 29 students in each class this year. Close Quote
