Summary

Peakview Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Centennial, Colorado, serving 447 students in the Cherry Creek School District No. 5. The school currently ranks in the 41st percentile statewide (555th of 943 Colorado elementary schools, 2 stars), a notable decline from a decade ago when it consistently ranked in the 75th–78th percentile with 4 stars. CMAS proficiency rates trail the district in every core subject: ELA at 38.2% (vs. 49.5% district), math at 37.8% (vs. 44.2% district), and 5th-grade science at just 19.2% (vs. 38.3% district).

The most striking context is how Peakview compares to schools just minutes away. Within roughly two miles, Trails West Elementary, Rolling Hills Elementary, and Indian Ridge Elementary all rank in the 80th percentile or higher, with ELA proficiency between 61–66% and math between 57–59%. Peakview's math and ELA scores trail these neighbors by roughly 20–27 percentage points. Science is a particular outlier: only 19.2% of Peakview 5th-graders scored proficient, compared to 59% at Trails West and 54% at Rolling Hills. This gap is especially notable because Peakview's poverty rate (36.2% free/reduced lunch) is similar to mid-tier neighbors like Aspen Crossing Elementary and Timberline Elementary that outperform it, suggesting demographics alone don't explain the results.

There are some encouraging signs. Chronic absenteeism fell to 14.2% in 2024–2025 — about half the state rate — and the school's results for Hispanic students ranked in the 89th percentile statewide, with improving outcomes for low-income students. However, the overall trend is concerning: proficiency gaps widen as students move from 3rd to 5th grade, and 5th-grade science collapsed from 54.5% to 19.2% in a single year. For parents considering Peakview, the school offers a reasonable student-teacher ratio of 14.4:1 and improving attendance, but the multiyear academic decline relative to the surrounding high-performing schools warrants a close look.
