The school is part of the Harrison School District No. 2, which is ranked 86 out of 115 school districts in Colorado and has a 1-star rating out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Wildflower Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools, maintaining a 1-star or 2-star rating out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The school performs particularly poorly for its Hispanic, White, and low socioeconomic status (SES) student groups, ranking in the bottom quarter or bottom half of Colorado elementary schools for these subgroups. Wildflower's proficiency rates on the Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) assessments are significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 21.8% proficiency in ELA, 22% in Math, and 11.5% in 5th grade Science, compared to the state averages of 44.8%, 35.9%, and 39%, respectively. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.7% to 31.6% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

While the nearby schools within the same district generally perform better than Wildflower Elementary School, they still struggle compared to the state averages, suggesting systemic challenges within the district. One exception is James Irwin Elementary School - Astrozon, a public charter school within the district, which outperforms Wildflower and the district on most metrics. Additionally, Wildflower Elementary School's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from the top third of Colorado elementary schools in 2015-2016 to the bottom quarter in recent years, indicating significant challenges in effectively educating its predominantly low-income student population.

Academically this school is good. The teacher my child had was not very fair to some of the children. Your child will learn at this school but will not be treated the way he or she should be. My child will not be going back to this school!!!! Close Quote
