Summary

Redstone Elementary School is a PK–6 public elementary school in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, serving 398 students as part of Douglas County School District No. Re 1, a highly rated district ranked in the 95th percentile statewide. For the 2025–2026 school year, Redstone Elementary School earned a state rank of #23 out of 943 Colorado elementary schools, placing it in the top 2.4% of schools in the state. The school has shown remarkable resilience, recovering from a pandemic-era dip to #171 in 2021–2022 to surpass its pre-pandemic rankings today.

Academically, Redstone is a standout. In 2025–2026, 77.6% of students were proficient in ELA, 75.9% in math, and 75% in science — roughly 30 to 39 percentage points above state averages. Its science program has improved dramatically, climbing from 50% proficiency in 2022–2023 to 75% today, a 25-point gain in three years. Reading and writing skills also strengthen as students progress, with ELA proficiency rising from 68.7% in 3rd grade to 86.7% in 5th grade. Chronic absenteeism is just 9.1%, far below the district rate of 16.6% and less than one-third of the state rate of 28.4%. With a student–teacher ratio of 14.4 to 1 and strong results across student subgroups — including an elite #3 ranking for Gifted and Talented students — Redstone offers both academic excellence and a healthy school climate.

Redstone also compares favorably with nearby schools. Just half a mile away, Wildcat Mountain Elementary School ranks #63 and trails Redstone by 24 points in science proficiency (50.6% vs. 75%). Arrowwood Elementary School, less than a mile away, ranks #209 and trails by nearly 20 points in math and more than 44 points in science. Even Platte River Charter Academy, the only nearby school ranked higher (#18), achieves only slightly better test scores while its chronic absenteeism rate is nearly double Redstone's (16.0% vs. 9.1%). For families seeking a top-tier traditional public elementary school in Highlands Ranch, Redstone is among the strongest options available.

What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, February 26, 2013

This school is amazing. The teachers are so wonderful. There is a genuine interest for each student and their success. The teachers bend over backwards to help kids and meet with parents before or after hours. The principal, Mrs. Wilson and vice principal, Mrs. Puga seem to work well together and help to problem solve based on each individual situation so the kids don't get bunched up into one category. The woman that runs the after school program is a true gift to any child's life. Her name is Deb Mejia. Being a working parent presents it's own challenges and having my child in the before and after care program has been a true blessing. This school is really great and I believe that each child feels valued in being there. Close Quote
