Summary

Superior Elementary School is a K-5 public school in Superior, Colorado, serving 418 students as part of the Boulder Valley School District No. Re2. It's one of the most consistently high-performing elementary schools in the state, ranking 34th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools (96th percentile, 5 stars) in 2025-2026, after ranking 12th and 20th in the two prior years. Among 11 nearby schools, Superior is the highest-ranked, outpacing Eldorado K-8 School (56th), Fireside Elementary School (79th), and Louisville Elementary School (95th).

Math is Superior's signature strength. In 2025-2026, 76.3% of students scored proficient on the CMAS math test—about 20 points above the district average and 39 points above the state average. That's nearly 10 points ahead of the next-closest nearby school (Fireside Elementary at 66.7%). ELA scores are also strong at 77.8% proficiency, essentially tied with Eldorado K-8 School and ahead of Fireside and Louisville. The school's scores climb steadily from 3rd grade to 5th grade, suggesting students build skills well over time. Attendance is another standout: only 5.2% of students were chronically absent in 2024-2025, compared to 17.5% district-wide and 28.4% statewide.

Superior serves a comparatively advantaged population—just 7.66% of students qualified for free/reduced-price lunch, the lowest among all nearby schools. Even so, the school outperforms similar affluent peers like Fireside and Eldorado by a meaningful margin in math, suggesting real school-level effectiveness. One thing to watch: 5th-grade science scores dipped 13 points in 2025-2026 to 65.8%, and gifted/talented subgroup rankings softened. Even in a "down" year, though, Superior remains a top-tier school with exceptional academics, strong attendance, and a track record of elite performance spanning a decade.
