Summary

Lone Tree Elementary is a PK–6 elementary school in Lone Tree, CO, serving 392 students in the Douglas County School District No. Re 1, one of the highest-performing districts in Colorado. The school is currently ranked 37th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 96th percentile with a 5-star rating. That puts it among the very best schools in an already strong neighborhood of nearby elementary schools, outpacing Willow Creek Elementary, Wildcat Mountain Elementary, and Eagle Ridge Elementary in statewide rankings.

Academically, proficiency rates are far above district and state averages: 76.4% of students are proficient in English Language Arts and 71.8% in Math, compared to 44.7% and 37.3% statewide. One of the school's clearest strengths is attendance — its chronic absenteeism rate of 7.9% is less than half the district rate (16.6%) and far below the state rate (28.4%). Nearby schools like Red Hawk Ridge Elementary (38.0%) and Acres Green Elementary (21.8%) have much higher rates, and even some top-ranked neighbors like Platte River Charter Academy (16.0%) and Arrowwood Elementary School (15.9%) don't match Lone Tree's attendance culture. Notably, the school achieves these results while having a higher student–teacher ratio (17.4) than any nearby school.

What's most impressive is the trajectory: a decade ago, Lone Tree ranked 263rd in the state (71st percentile), and it has climbed steadily to its current 96th percentile ranking — evidence of sustained improvement rather than a one-year spike. Proficiency rates are consistent across all grade levels, and both female and male students rank in the top 10% statewide, with no significant gender gap. The one relative opportunity is 5th grade science (61.1% proficiency, still well above state averages but lower than nearby Platte River Charter Academy and Redstone Elementary). Overall, Lone Tree Elementary is a model of steady, top-tier performance.

This school only wants middle of the road students. Not willing to help students that require special needs or GT. The teaching style is student lead not teacher lead. Close Quote
