Summary

Grand View Elementary is a PK-5 school in Frederick, Colorado, serving 446 students in the St. Vrain Valley School District No. Re1J — a district ranked in the top 20% of Colorado districts. For the 2025-2026 school year, the school ranks 432nd out of 943 Colorado elementary schools, landing in the 54th percentile with a 3-star rating. That puts it slightly above the state median, though it trails many of the elementary schools nearby. Grand View has improved notably since the 2021-2022 school year, when it sat in the 39th percentile, but it has not yet returned to its pre-pandemic standing in the 65th percentile.

In reading and math, Grand View's test scores are near or above state averages. About 44.9% of students are proficient in English language arts, essentially matching the state average of 44.7%, while 43.5% are proficient in math, comfortably above the state's 37.3%. Both figures, however, trail the district averages. The most striking concern is 5th-grade science: proficiency has fallen from 53.0% in 2023-2024 to just 30.2% now, well below the district's 43.6%. By comparison, nearby schools like Erie Elementary (94th percentile) and Highlands Elementary (91st percentile) post much stronger scores across all subjects, while Grand View sits closer to Legacy Elementary and Centennial Elementary in overall rank.

On the positive side, Grand View keeps chronic absenteeism relatively low at 16.0%, far better than the district rate of 23.1%. However, the school's effectiveness with low-income students has dropped sharply in recent years — from the 74th percentile to the 27th percentile — even as the share of students qualifying for free and reduced lunch has grown to nearly 32%. Academic gaps versus the district also widen as students move from 3rd to 5th grade in both reading and math. For families weighing options in the area, Grand View is a dependable, mid-tier school in a high-performing district, but families seeking top test scores may want to compare it with higher-ranked nearby schools like Red Hawk Elementary or Soaring Heights Pk-8.
