Summary

Eldorado K-8 School is a public PK–8 school in Superior, Colorado, serving 529 students in the highly rated Boulder Valley School District Re2, which ranks 5th among 115 Colorado districts. The school has earned a 5-star statewide rating and currently ranks 56th out of 943 Colorado schools, placing it in the 94th percentile. This consistent top-10% performance has held for most of the past decade, with rankings ranging from 30th to 94th statewide in recent years. One of Eldorado's biggest strengths is its 8th grade program, where 83.3% of students score proficient or advanced in English Language Arts and 67.7% meet proficiency in science — results well above state averages. Families considering a K–8 option will find Eldorado to be a clear academic leader among its peers.

When compared to other K–8 schools nearby, Eldorado stands out. Monarch K-8 School, located just 2.3 miles away, ranks 211th statewide and posts significantly lower proficiency rates (63.1% in ELA and 57.2% in math). Three Creeks K-8 also trails by a wide margin, with 64.2% ELA and 53.2% math proficiency. Among elementary schools, Superior Elementary School, Eldorado's closest neighbor at just over a mile away, edges it out in overall rank (34th vs. 56th) and math proficiency (76.3% vs. 66.4%). Still, Eldorado's ELA proficiency of 77.5% is nearly identical to Superior Elementary's 77.8% and higher than every other nearby elementary school.

Eldorado's attendance is solid — 12.5% chronic absenteeism, well below the district rate of 17.5% and the state rate of 28.4% — but nearby Fireside Elementary School and Superior Elementary School both post rates around 5–6%. The school's math scores are strong in 8th grade but slightly softer in 3rd and 6th grades. Fifth grade science scores have declined over the past few years, though 8th grade science has steadily improved. With a low free/reduced lunch rate of 15.1% and a student-to-teacher ratio of 16.5, Eldorado provides a well-supported learning environment. For families in the Superior/Louisville area seeking a K–8 school with strong academics through the middle years, Eldorado is an excellent option.

Open Quote If you have children that require extra help, don't count on getting it at this school. Don't believe the test scores either. Administrators admitted that everyone's test scores went down for the year 2016. They blamed it on the "type" of test, and not the poor education. If you have a problem with a teacher, don't count on getting support from the principal or assistant principal. If you have questions, don't count on teachers responding to emails. What you can count on is, ALOT of homework, and parents doing the teaching at home. Teachers don't evaluate their teaching strategies, they just give bad grades. They don't take responsibility for anything. BVSD are OVERRATED!!! Close Quote
