Summary

Pine Grove Elementary School is a PK–6 public school in Parker, Colorado, serving 480 students within the Douglas County School District Re 1, a district ranked in the 95th percentile statewide. The school has earned 4 stars for the 2025–2026 school year, ranking 185th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools (80th percentile), a position it has held steadily for several years.

Pine Grove's biggest strengths are attendance, class size, and math. Its chronic absenteeism rate is just 8.9% — far below the district's 16.6% and the state's 28.4%, and among the lowest in Parker; only Parker Core Knowledge is lower at 4.2%. The student–teacher ratio of 14.7 is lower than most nearby schools, including North Star Academy (18.9), Gold Rush Elementary (18.4), and Challenge to Excellence Charter School (18.4). In math, 61.8% of students are proficient, outpacing the district (57.2%) and state (37.3%). Fourth grade is a standout: 77% proficiency, 16.5 points above the district average.

English Language Arts is more uneven. Pine Grove posted 57.7% proficiency overall — above the state (44.7%) but below the district (63.8%). The weakest spot is 3rd grade ELA at 42.6%, a 15-point gap behind the district. Science is improving, jumping from 42.6% to 51.9% in a year, now nearly matching the district's 55%. In the broader Parker landscape, Pine Grove sits in a solid middle-upper position: clearly ahead of Cherokee Trail Elementary School and Pine Lane Elementary, and behind the top-tier charters. For parents, it offers a dependable, well-attended school with small classes and genuine math strength.

Excellent administration and caring teachers. I love how Pine Grove supports students’ social emotional health. I have 3 kids at PGE and have been very happy. Even during this hard year of Covid, the entire staff are doing their best for our children. Close Quote

Horrible administration, send your kid elsewhere. Teachers on drugs and a principal half in the bag makes a great environment for a student Close Quote

We love Pine Grove and feel fortunate that this is our neighborhood school. Our children have had excellent teachers of the last 4 years. Teachers that truly care about our children and strive to help them be their best as people and students. We can see that the teachers work to adjust the lessons and school work to challenge our children. We would highly recommend this school! Close Quote

Not what it used to be. Currently in the process of a change in principle leadership. Many students have been pulled out over the summer and for those of us who returned in the fall of 2016, wow are we surprised by the huge increase in classroom size. Teachers are shuffled around to teach other grades too much, and often not at the advantage of the student because they are being taught down to, or advanced beyond where they are currently ready. Many parents receive 2-3 hours a night in homework (3rd-4th grade) for things rushed in class without fully grasping the concept and parents are not familiar with how to teach the math curriculum. Main focus is on AR reading, not enough elsewhere. Sad to see the decline but we will also be leaving. See the drop in school scoring/ratings for yourself. Close Quote
