Summary

Blue Mountain Elementary is a PK–5 elementary school in Longmont, CO, serving 542 students in the St. Vrain Valley School District No. Re1J, and it ranks among the top elementary schools in the state — currently 53rd out of 943 Colorado elementary schools (94th percentile) with a 5-star rating. The school has earned 5 stars in every reported year since 2015-2016, and its ranking has remained remarkably stable, peaking at 15th in 2020-2021. Proficiency rates have held steady in the low 70s for both ELA and math in recent years.

Academically, Blue Mountain substantially outperforms its district and state averages across every subject. On CMAS assessments, 71.4% of students met or exceeded proficiency in English Language Arts, compared to 51.0% for the district and 44.7% for the state. Math proficiency was 73.1% versus 46.9% for the district and 37.3% for the state. The most striking result is in 5th-grade science: 84.4% of Blue Mountain students were proficient — nearly double the district average of 43.6% and more than 48 points above the state average. The school also has a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 8.8%, compared to 23.1% for the district and 28.4% statewide. The contrast with nearby Eagle Crest Elementary School, less than a mile away, is notable: Eagle Crest's math proficiency is 37.1% and its chronic absenteeism is 23.6%.

Among local peers, Blue Mountain sits in the upper tier alongside Hygiene Elementary School (ranked 39th) and Niwot Elementary School (ranked 42nd). Blue Mountain trails slightly in ELA but is highly competitive in math, and it leads all nearby schools in 5th-grade science. Notably, it achieves these results with the highest student-teacher ratio among nearby elementary schools (17.0), suggesting effective instruction and strong family engagement. One area worth watching is the gifted and talented subgroup, whose statewide ranking dropped to the 46th percentile in 2025-2026, down from 83rd the prior year. Overall, Blue Mountain presents a picture of sustained, high-level academic success.
