Summary

Marshdale Elementary School serves 375 students in grades PK-5 in the mountain community of Evergreen, Colorado, as part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1. The school has a well-earned reputation for strong academic performance, ranking 102nd out of 943 Colorado elementary schools in the 2025-2026 school year, placing it in the 89th percentile with a 4-star rating. This follows an especially impressive run between 2021 and 2024, when the school consistently earned 5-star ratings and reached a standout 16th-place statewide ranking in 2022-2023.

Math is Marshdale's clearest academic strength. In 2025-2026, 67% of students scored proficient in CMAS Math, compared to 44.6% for the district and 37.3% for the state. While nearby schools like Bergen Elementary School and Red Rocks Elementary School rank higher overall in some years, Marshdale's math scores outpaced both (Bergen at 62.5% and Red Rocks at 65.7%). Only Parmalee Elementary School, Wilmot Elementary School, and Bradford K8 South posted higher math proficiency among the schools in the immediate area. Marshdale also serves a comparatively affluent population, with just 6.93% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch — the second-lowest rate among its peers, behind only Bradford K8 South at 4.04%.

There are a few areas worth watching. Chronic absenteeism is 14.3%, which is much better than the district (26.6%) and state (28.4%) averages, but higher than several top-performing neighbors like Bradford K8 South, Mount Carbon Elementary School, and Red Rocks Elementary School, all of which have rates below 8%. Math proficiency also declines as students advance, dropping from 73.1% in 3rd grade to 62.1% in 5th grade, while ELA proficiency rises from 60% to 81.4% across those same grades. Science scores dipped sharply from 69.8% in 2024-2025 to 50.9% in 2025-2026, though the school still outperforms both district and state averages. Overall, Marshdale remains a solidly strong school in a very competitive cluster of Evergreen-area elementary schools, and families can feel confident in its academic foundation.
