Summary

Indian Peaks Elementary School is a public elementary school in Longmont, Colorado, serving 236 students in grades PK-5 as part of the St. Vrain Valley School District. While the district is ranked 27th out of 115 in Colorado and has a 4-star rating, Indian Peaks Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools over the past 10 years, with academic performance significantly lower than district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.27% to 84.52% over the past three years, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.8 to 12. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 16.6% in 2021-2022 to 27.7% in 2023-2024. Nearby schools in the St. Vrain Valley School District, such as Blue Mountain Elementary, Rocky Mountain Elementary, and Mountain View Elementary, generally perform better than Indian Peaks Elementary on academic measures.

The persistent challenges at Indian Peaks Elementary School, with no significant improvements in academic proficiency rates and a declining ranking within the state, suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes. Addressing the root causes of high chronic absenteeism may be an important focus for the school and district to help drive progress and better serve the community.

Indian Peaks Elementary School is an excellent school for diverse students and students who are learning English as a second language. The test scores do not reflect the growth in achievement of students who enter this school at preschool and leave at 5th grade. These students make remarkable achievements in literacy and math, while learning English as a second language. It is a Biliteracy Language immersion school. Instruction is differentiated to support literacy in a second language and students are immersed in the STEM framework to enrich and empower their skills and aptitudes in Science, Engineering, Technology and Math.
Students who leave Indian Peaks actually perform quite well as they transition into MS environment, having acquired English as their second language skill. Close Quote
