Summary

Wildflower Elementary School is a PK-5 school in Colorado Springs, CO, serving 346 students within Harrison School District No. 2, which ranks in the bottom quarter of Colorado districts. The student body is high-need — 71.4% qualify for free/reduced-price lunch and 35.6% are chronically absent, both above district and state averages. The school currently ranks in the 24th percentile among Colorado elementary schools.

Academically, Wildflower is a mixed picture. English Language Arts is a relative strength: 32.7% proficiency, essentially matching the district average and well above nearby Carmel Community School (17.2%), Giberson Elementary School (21.9%), and Monroe Elementary School (10.9%). Math sits at 22.4%, slightly below the district average but above several neighbors. Science is the clear weak point — just 13.7% of 5th graders are proficient, versus 36.7% at Monterey Elementary School and 38.6% at Sand Creek International School. Grade-level patterns are also telling: 3rd-grade ELA nearly reaches the state average, but 4th-grade reading drops sharply before rebounding in 5th grade, while math declines steadily from 27.8% to 16.0% between 3rd and 5th grades.

Wildflower's long-term story is concerning. The school ranked in the 82nd percentile in 2015-16 and now sits in the mid-20s. Low-socioeconomic-status students, once in the 92nd percentile statewide, now score in the 20th percentile — a dramatic shift in how effectively the school serves its highest-need students. There is encouraging recent news: ELA proficiency rose nearly 11 points, and several student subgroups showed meaningful gains. But math is flat, and chronic absenteeism remains high at 35.6% — far above James Irwin Elementary School - Astrozon's 8.4%, a nearby school with notably stronger outcomes. Wildflower actually matches Sand Creek International School in math despite serving a similar population, so addressing attendance and the 4th-grade reading dip could help reverse the decline.

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
