Summary

Kendallvue Elementary School in Morrison, CO, serves 370 students in grades PK–5 and is part of Jefferson County School District No. R-1, a highly rated district ranked 24th out of 115 in Colorado. Kendallvue itself currently ranks 374th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools (60th percentile, 3 stars), placing it solidly in the middle of the pack statewide — above state averages in ELA, math, and science, though slightly below the district average in reading and math. The school's clear academic standout is 5th-grade science, where 54.9% of students are proficient — well above the district (46.2%) and state (36.1%) averages, and competitive with top nearby schools like Governor's Ranch Elementary School, Westridge Elementary School, and Ute Meadows Elementary School.

The most striking story at Kendallvue is its dramatic improvement. In just three years, the school climbed from the 19th percentile (1 star) to the 60th percentile (3 stars), with ELA proficiency jumping from 27.4% to 50%, math from 16.7% to 39.9%, and science from 14.3% to 54.9%. The school also does exceptional work with economically disadvantaged students: its low-income students rank in the 88th percentile statewide (4 stars), a top-decile result that shows Kendallvue is effectively closing the socioeconomic achievement gap. Attendance is another plus — the chronic absenteeism rate of 16.0% is well below the district rate of 26.6% and the state rate of 28.4%.

Kendallvue serves a more economically diverse population than most nearby schools, with 34.9% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch — the second-highest rate among its neighboring elementaries, behind only Bear Creek K-8 School. That context matters when comparing test scores: schools like Red Rocks Elementary School (8.6% FRL), Rooney Ranch Elementary School (7.3%), and Westridge (14.8%) serve far wealthier populations. Kendallvue's closest geographic neighbor, Mount Carbon Elementary School, outperforms it in ELA and math but actually trails in 5th-grade science (43.1% vs. 54.9%). In short, Kendallvue is a school on the rise — with a standout science program, a strong equity story, and improving attendance — still working to match the absolute achievement levels of its highest-performing neighbors.

I have been VERY impressed with Kendallvue! The Teachers, Principal and staff always go above and beyond with everything they do! Everyone is so friendly and caring, and they care so much about each and every child. My son has a severe food allergy and we were very concerned about how that would be handled at any school. This did play a role in which school we chose for our son. Kendallvue takes his allergy very seriously, yet they don't make him feel different or isolated while still protecting him. We toured several schools in our area and walked out of Kendallvue after the tour and parent meeting saying "this is it!" They combine all the great things we were looking for academically and provide an overall feeling of warmth, compassion, caring and community. They make learning fun and I am always impressed with the new and innovative ways they use hands on experiences to teach the children. My son has fun at school and is learning so much! The classrooms are a nice size giving the children space to move around, and I love the flexible seating options offered in most classrooms. The open space around the school is amazing with 2 large playgrounds, a great pre-school playground, and large grassy areas to play on. My son loves Kendallvue and has had the best experiences!

I loved this school prior to attending just from the playground and open space. Then, my preschooler and Kindergartner started at Kendallvue and I am impressed over and over by the quality of staff and teachers they have. We have some special needs in our family as well, and Kendallvue goes ABOVE & BEYOND to meet those needs, including the Principal. You never hear or see a mad teacher - everyone works together and seems to truly love being there! I cannot say enough how lucky my family is to have found Kendallvue. Our boys prance into school each day, and bounce out at the end of the day with love in their hearts, and a day full of fun learning. Close Quote

I've been associated with this school since 1995 when my three children went there and on. Now my grand children go there. The teachers are wonderful and very open mined to every student. They help in any way possible and communicate with the parents very effectively. The Principle and Assistant Principle are involved in every aspect of the school. The clubs are wonderful for the students. In over the 22 years that I've been associated with this school, yes we have had new teachers and principles, but they always have come back with very strong new and adventures teachers and principles that are highly qualified. Some of these teachers have been there the whole time, I've also seen many retirements from this school. It is a great elementary school for any child. If they have a learning disability, it is a wonderful school for getting them the extra help the student needs. The special education teachers are very effective with the students. Close Quote
