Summary

Aspen Creek K-8 School in Broomfield, CO, serves 844 students from Pre-K through 8th grade in the Boulder Valley School District No. Re2, making it the largest school among its nearby peers. The school has earned a 4-star rating every year for the past decade, ranking 162nd out of 943 Colorado schools (83rd percentile) in 2025-2026. Its biggest academic strength is English Language Arts, especially in elementary grades — 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders all post proficiency rates above district averages, and overall ELA proficiency (65.4%) far exceeds the state's 44.7%. Most impressive is the school's work with economically disadvantaged students: the Low Socioeconomic Status subgroup ranks in the 86th percentile statewide, higher than the school's overall percentile, up from the 57th percentile just two years ago.

The clearest challenge is middle school math and science. Overall math proficiency is 46.5%, nearly 10 points below the district's 56.1%, with 7th grade math showing a 21.7-point gap (30.8% vs. 52.5%) and 8th grade a 16.8-point gap. Science follows a similar pattern: 8th grade proficiency is 41.6% versus the district's 59.4%. Nearby schools in the Adams 12 Five Star Schools district — a lower-ranked district — actually outperform Aspen Creek K-8 School in math: Coyote Ridge Elementary School, just 0.63 miles away, posts 64.7% math proficiency, and Meridian Elementary School posts 68.2%. Even Thunder Vista P-8, a similar K-8 school, posts 59.4%. Aspen Creek K-8 School also has the highest student-teacher ratio among nearby schools (18:1), and its 17.2% chronic absenteeism rate, while below the state's 28.4%, is higher than several high-achieving neighbors like Coyote Ridge Elementary School (7.8%) and Kohl Elementary School (12.1%).

For parents, Aspen Creek offers a stable, above-average education with genuine strengths: strong elementary literacy, exceptional results for low-income students, and a K-8 structure that keeps students in one community through 8th grade. The middle school math and science gaps are the main drag on the school's ranking, and the rising student-teacher ratio may affect individualized support. The encouraging news is that the school is closing opportunity gaps — its low-SES students outperform its overall student population statewide — and elementary ELA results are among the best in the area. Families with middle schoolers who need extra math or science support should ask about targeted interventions.
