Summary

Gold Camp Elementary School is a K-6 elementary school in Colorado Springs, CO, serving 435 students as part of the highly regarded Cheyenne Mountain School District No. 12. For the 2025-2026 school year, Gold Camp ranked 84th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools, placing it in the 91st percentile with a 5-star rating. The school's academic performance is well above both state and district averages, with English Language Arts proficiency at 72.3% compared to the state's 44.7%, and math proficiency at 66.2% versus the state's 37.3%. With a 14:1 student-teacher ratio and a chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.6% — less than one-third of the state average — the school has built a strong culture of attendance and learning.

Gold Camp stands out even among its high-performing neighbors. It is the highest-ranked nearby elementary school, outpacing Broadmoor Elementary School (104th in the state) and Skyway Park Elementary School (313th), which sits just 0.55 miles away in the same district. Gold Camp leads Skyway Park by roughly 15 to 25 percentage points in most grade-level ELA and math results. The school's 7.6% chronic absenteeism rate is also the lowest among all nearby schools, far better than Broadmoor's 10.4% and Skyway Park's 13.5%. Gold Camp serves a lower-poverty population than its peers, with 16.3% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch.

While overall performance is excellent, there are a few areas worth watching. Fifth-grade math proficiency (50.7%) falls below the district average (57.0%), and 5th-grade science scores dropped sharply from 76.1% to 56.1% in one year, though the school still remains above district and state averages. The gifted and talented subgroup also ranks in the middle of the state, which is unusual for a school with such strong overall results. Still, Gold Camp has remained consistently strong for over a decade, never dropping below 4 stars since 2015-2016, making it one of the strongest elementary options in the Colorado Springs area.
