Summary

Frontier Valley Elementary School is a PK-5 elementary school in Parker, Colorado, serving 369 students in the Douglas County School District No. Re 1, one of the highest-performing districts in the state. For the 2025-26 school year, the school ranked 230th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools, placing it in the 76th percentile and earning a 4-star rating. That puts it solidly above the statewide median, though in the middle of a strong cluster of nearby Douglas County elementary schools.

One of Frontier Valley's standout strengths is its early-elementary instruction. Third-grade ELA proficiency is 74.5%, far above the district's 57.6% and the state's 40.8% — nearly matching Parker Core Knowledge, one of the top-ranked schools in the state. Math tells a similar story, with 69.6% of third graders proficient versus 62.2% district-wide. However, the school loses momentum in upper elementary. By 5th grade, ELA proficiency drops to 56.3% (below the district's 66.6%) and math to 47.9% (below the district's 58.2%). Science is also a relative weakness at 41.2% proficiency versus the district's 55.0%. This pattern contrasts with nearby Northeast Elementary School, which trails Frontier Valley in 3rd grade but pulls ahead by 5th grade in both ELA and math.

Frontier Valley does have several bright spots beyond test scores. Chronic absenteeism is just 12.3%, well below the district's 16.6% and the state's 28.4% — a signal of strong attendance and engagement. The student-teacher ratio improved to 15.0, which is better than many nearby schools like Leman Classical Academy (20.1) and Mountain View Elementary School (17.5). The school also serves a relatively advantaged population, with 13.3% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, though that figure has more than doubled since 2022-23. Overall, Frontier Valley is a solid, above-average school with excellent early-elementary foundations, but families considering it may want to ask how the school supports upper-elementary learners, particularly in math and science.
