Summary

Westridge Elementary School in Littleton, Colorado, serves about 400 students in grades PK–5 and is part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1, a district ranked in the 79th percentile statewide. Westridge itself is a 5-star school, ranking 80th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools — the 92nd percentile — and it is the highest-ranked school in its immediate area. That puts it ahead of nearby standouts like Ute Meadows Elementary School, Governor's Ranch Elementary School, and Mount Carbon Elementary School.

Westridge's academic results are well above district and state averages. In ELA, 67.1% of students are proficient, compared with 53.7% for the district and 44.7% for the state. Math is even more impressive: 68.3% proficient, versus 44.6% for the district and 37.3% for the state — roughly 19 points above the average of nearby same-district schools. Fifth-grade science is a standout too, with 70.3% proficient, far ahead of the district's 46.2% and the state's 36.1%, and well above schools like Leawood Elementary School (29.5%) and Mount Carbon (43.1%). Even compared with Montessori Peaks Charter Academy, a charter just 0.74 miles away with a similar free/reduced lunch rate, Westridge leads by nearly 37 points in math.

Westridge also has a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 9.9% — about one-third the state rate — and the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (14.75%) among nearby schools. After a mid-pandemic dip, the school has rebounded strongly, returning to the 92nd percentile by 2025-26, and it has shown exceptional results for Hispanic students, who ranked 7th out of 242 schools statewide in 2023-24. The only areas parents might want to ask about are a 4th-grade ELA dip, which falls slightly below the district average, and gifted/talented student performance, which ranks in the mid-range statewide. Notably, Westridge achieves these results with a higher student-teacher ratio (17.3:1) than most neighboring schools, making its performance all the more impressive.

I live next to Mt. Carbon, and sent my kids to area schools, like Bradley Elementary. I am familiar with Westridge, and have a friend sending his kids there, this week. I have never seen or heard of anything of concern from this elementary, and have noticed, as riding-by that the kids seem well adjusted, and have never seen one "acting up", or cursing. I would conclude that this is one of the best schools in Colorado -- top 7. The costs to the taxpayer is $1,000,000 per classroom. Where does this money go? Much of it to out-of-control Retirement / PERA, and Corrupt Administration at the state level. Spending is out of control with our state budget. And Polis and lefties want to tax and spend us into oblivion, further. $30 billion state budget?????? Close Quote

I attended Westridge Elementary and I loved it! Although I attended six years ago, I started volunteering there just in the past few months. Westridge still has great staff, teachers and the playgrounds are very nice. Even with an average of 23 children in a class,the teachers truly know and remember their students. After six years, I still had many teachers recognize me and remember who I was, as well as my family. Another great aspect of the school is their commitment. They are committed to the community and the students, both in their academic and personal lives. Westridge and its staff is the reason that my work ethic is as good as it is and is the reason I enjoy school. They teach you not only facts, but how to learn and how to love learning. My favorite teachers were all teachers who taught at Westridge.
The friends I made there are still close to me today. Overall, it is a wonderful environment to grow up in and the surrounding area is older than some, but still beautiful and safe. I would not have wanted to go anywhere else! Close Quote

I believe the school system, and everybody in the chain of command has forgotten about the children. It seems to me like the teachers, and more so the principle at Westridge elementary are too wrapped up in the Drama that kids have amungst themselves.... When did we stop letting kids be kids? Now we want to be smack in the middle of all their dramatic happenings throughout the day? when did the schools stop letting children resolve small disputes between themselves? I think the principle has nothing better to do, be ware, this school is pro-medication for students, makes it easier for the staff to "do their jobs" if your kid is all doped up. I work in corporate america, but the new way of the schools is nothing more than a nazi camp to train all the little corporate butt kissers. Close Quote
