Summary

Jordahl Elementary School is a K–5 school in Fountain, CO, serving 524 students within Fountain School District No. 8, a district rated in the bottom third of Colorado districts. Despite that, Jordahl is a clear bright spot: it ranks in the 67th percentile statewide and earns a 3-star rating, placing it well above most schools in its area.

The school's signature strength is math. Jordahl's math proficiency rate of 54.4% is more than double the district average of 26.9% and far exceeds the state average of 37.3%. Among nearby schools, only Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary comes close at 52.2%; most other local schools, including Mesa Elementary (33.2%), Eagleside Elementary (31.0%), and Aragon Elementary (13.0%), trail significantly. Jordahl is the only elementary school in its district with math proficiency above the state average. The school also posts strong 5th-grade results, with 64.0% proficiency in math and 57.5% in ELA, both well above state averages. Science performance is also a differentiator, with 44.7% proficiency compared to the state's 36.1%.

What truly sets Jordahl apart is how well it serves students who historically face the largest achievement gaps. Nearly half of its students qualify for free/reduced lunch, yet Jordahl's Hispanic students rank in the 96th percentile statewide, and its low-income students rank in the 90th percentile — both earning 5-star subgroup ratings. Chronic absenteeism sits at 24.3%, better than both the district (30.2%) and state (28.4%) rates. While attendance has worsened slightly year over year, Jordahl continues to outperform nearby schools with lower poverty rates and smaller class sizes. For families looking for an elementary school that delivers strong academic results — especially in math — Jordahl is a standout choice in the Fountain area.
