Summary

Coronado Elementary School serves 384 students in grades PK-5 in Littleton, CO, and is part of Jefferson County School District R-1, a 4-star district ranked 24th of 115 districts in Colorado. Coronado itself is a strong academic performer: in 2025-26 it ranked 186th of 943 Colorado elementary schools, placing it in the 80th percentile with a 4-star rating. Across all core CMAS subjects, the school outperforms both district and state averages — 63.3% proficiency in ELA (vs. 53.7% district and 44.7% state), 56.6% in math (vs. 44.6% and 37.3%), and 53.5% in 5th-grade science (vs. 46.2% and 36.1%).

Among nearby schools, Coronado stands out as a top performer. Only Ute Meadows Elementary School, at the 90th percentile, and Shaffer Elementary School, at the 86th, rank higher; Coronado outranks Stony Creek Elementary School, Dutch Creek Elementary School, and Normandy Elementary School, and clearly outpaces Leawood Elementary School, Blue Heron Elementary School, Columbine Hills Elementary School, Montessori Peaks Charter Academy, and Mortensen Elementary School. Its 5th-grade ELA proficiency rate of 78.9% is especially striking compared with nearby schools like Blue Heron (44.7%) and Columbine Hills (47.6%). Coronado's math proficiency has also risen steadily, from 39.1% in 2022-23 to 56.6% in 2025-26, and its statewide percentile ranking has climbed from the 71st to the 80th percentile over the same period.

One of Coronado's most distinctive characteristics is its attendance culture: only 8.4% of students were chronically absent in 2024-25, compared with 26.6% district-wide and 28.4% statewide — while nearby schools like Stony Creek (18.2%) and Blue Heron (20.5%) report more than double that rate. With 21.6% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch — a moderate rate among area schools — Coronado achieves results comparable to more affluent schools. The main areas for improvement are 3rd-grade ELA and 4th-grade math, both of which trail district averages. And while male students rank in the 79th percentile statewide, female students rank in the 67th, a gap worth monitoring. Overall, Coronado is a consistently strong school with a recent upward trajectory and clear strengths in attendance and upper-elementary outcomes.

The academic program for Kindergartners is so impressive! The teachers do an amazing job and pay attention to details with each kid. I can not believe how fast my son learned how to read and write full sentences...in just the first semester! I love Coronado! Close Quote

My 6 year old daughter loved school and learning new things. Now, she never wants to go back to kindergarden and never ever wants to go back to school. I do not recommend this school. Close Quote
