Summary

Creekside Elementary School at Martin Park is a public PK–5 school in Boulder, CO, serving 359 students as part of the Boulder Valley School District No. Re2, a five-star district ranked in the 96th percentile among Colorado districts. Creekside has also earned five stars itself, ranking 69th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools — putting it in the 93rd percentile statewide. In 2025–2026, proficiency rates were 70.5% in ELA (vs. 65.3% district and 44.7% state), 67.3% in math (vs. 56.1% district and 37.3% state), and 68.0% in 5th grade science (vs. 55.5% district and 36.1% state).

What makes Creekside particularly interesting is that it achieves these results while serving a more economically diverse student body than many of its highest-performing neighbors. Its free/reduced lunch rate is 30.1%, notably higher than nearby schools like Bear Creek (7.6%), High Peaks (9.7%), and Flatirons (18.4%). Despite this, Creekside's long-term trajectory is strongly upward — rising from the 72nd percentile in 2016–2017 to the 93rd percentile in 2025–2026, with five-star ratings every year since 2021–2022. The school also has a standout record with male students, who ranked in the 96th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, compared with the 77th percentile for female students.

Creekside's biggest academic strengths are math and science, which run about 30 percentage points above state averages. Its chronic absenteeism rate improved to 17.5% in 2024–2025, matching the district rate and well below the state's 28.4%, though some nearby schools like Mesa (8.4%) and High Peaks (8.5%) are lower. The school's student-teacher ratio of 17.3:1 is higher than most local elementaries, yet outcomes remain strong. Areas to watch include a dip in test scores in 2025–2026, a relative soft spot in 4th grade math (59.6% proficiency), and gifted/talented students who ranked at the 67th percentile statewide — strong but below the school's overall rank. Even with those caveats, Creekside remains a compelling choice in an area packed with elite schools.

Creekside is a wonderful neighborhood school! A much more diverse and friendly student/parent community compared to the nearby elementary schools. My child comes home happy and excited to tell me what he is learning. Thank you to the excellent principal and staff at Creekside! Close Quote
