Summary

Eagleside Elementary School is a pre-K through 5th grade school in Fountain, Colorado, serving 332 students as part of the Fountain School District No. 8, a district that ranks in the 30th percentile statewide. Eagleside itself ranks in the 45th percentile for 2025–2026 with a 2-star rating, placing it in the middle of Colorado's elementary schools. Its best years came in the mid-2010s, when it reached the 72nd percentile and earned 4 stars, but it has since hovered in the 45th–54th percentile range.

Eagleside's biggest strengths are its attendance culture and its support of historically underserved students. Chronic absenteeism was just 19.0% in 2024–2025, roughly half the district rate of 30.2% and well below the state's 28.4% — the lowest among nearby schools, including Webster Elementary (22.4%) and Jordahl Elementary (24.3%). The school also achieves standout outcomes for Hispanic students, who rank in the 98th percentile statewide, and for low-income students, who rank in the 90th percentile. Science is a clear academic strength: 5th graders scored 39.6% proficient in 2025–2026, above both the district's 29.6% and the state's 36.1%. By comparison, Martin Luther King Junior Elementary School, serving a similar share of low-income families, earns a higher overall rank — a sign of Eagleside's room to grow.

The challenges are real, however. Math proficiency has declined from 40% in 2023–2024 to 31% in 2025–2026, above the district's 26.9% but well below the state's 37.3%. Upper-grade performance is a particular concern: 5th-grade ELA proficiency sits at 33.3% versus the state's 49.9%, and male students recently dropped to the 25th percentile statewide. Even so, Eagleside outperformed its district in every subject tested in 2025–2026. With a favorable 14.4 student-teacher ratio and excellent attendance as a foundation, this is a school with clear strengths to build on as it works to raise its overall statewide standing.
