Broadmoor Elementary School

Broadmoor Elementary School is a K-6 school in Colorado Springs serving 327 students as part of the Cheyenne Mountain School District No. 12, a district ranked 3rd out of 115 districts in Colorado. In 2025-26, Broadmoor ranked 104th of 943 Colorado elementary schools — the 89th percentile, earning 4 stars — a strong result, though a slight step back from its recent 5-star status in the prior three years when it ranked in the 93rd–94th percentile.

Broadmoor's core academics are far above state averages, with 72.2% of students proficient in ELA and 67.9% in math, compared to 44.7% and 37.3% statewide. Chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at 10.4% versus 28.4% statewide. However, a few areas deserve attention. Fifth-grade science proficiency dropped sharply to 48% in 2025-26, down from 73.3% the prior year. There is also a persistent gender gap: male students rank in the 92nd percentile statewide, while female students rank in the 77th percentile. Additionally, the school's free/reduced lunch rate has more than doubled in two years, from 7.81% to 18.35%, while chronic absenteeism has ticked upward from 7.5% to 10.4%.

Broadmoor remains a top-tier school, but within its own district it now trails Cheyenne Mountain Elementary and Gold Camp Elementary, while outperforming Pinon Valley Elementary and Skyway Park Elementary. The contrast with nearby non-district schools is dramatic — Broadmoor's proficiency rates are two to five times higher than schools like Oak Creek Elementary, Otero Elementary, and Stratton Meadows Elementary, whose ELA proficiency ranges from 14.7% to 33.3%. Broadmoor's grade-level data shows a "slow start, strong finish" pattern, with 3rd-grade scores below district averages but 6th-grade scores substantially above them. While the school's trajectory has cooled slightly, Broadmoor remains a strong, well-run school whose main areas to watch are the science dip, the gender gap, and the slow rise in economic disadvantage and absenteeism.
