Summary

Bergen Elementary School in Evergreen, CO, is a public school serving 456 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade as part of Jefferson County School District No. R-1, located in the foothills community west of Denver, where only about 12% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school is an elite academic performer: it currently holds a 5-star rating and ranked 59th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools, placing it in the 94th percentile statewide. This isn't a one-year fluke—Bergen has ranked in the 89th–98th percentile every year since 2015-2016, making it one of the most consistently high-performing schools in the region.

Bergen's test scores far outpace district and state averages. In English Language Arts, 80.3% of students are proficient, compared to 53.7% for the district and 44.7% for the state. Science performance is a standout strength, with 71% of 5th graders proficient versus 46.2% district and 36.1% state averages. Math proficiency (62.5%) is still well above average but lags behind several neighbors, including Parmalee Elementary School (78.9%) and Ralston Elementary School (73.6%). The 2025-2026 math scores represent a notable drop from the previous year, and 4th grade math (53.5% proficient) is an area to watch closely.

Attendance at Bergen is better than the district average—chronic absenteeism stands at 15.4% versus 26.6% for the district—but it trails top neighbors like Red Rocks Elementary School and Ralston Elementary School, both in single digits. The school's Gifted and Talented program has shown dramatic improvement, climbing from the 17th percentile in 2017-2018 to the 78th percentile today. Bergen is part of an exceptional cluster of high-performing schools in the Evergreen/Golden area, yet proximity doesn't guarantee results: Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen, just over two miles away, ranks significantly lower. For families seeking a proven, academically excellent school, Bergen is clearly among the top choices in the area.
