Summary

Meridian Elementary School is a K–5 elementary school in Broomfield, CO, serving 525 students as part of the Adams 12 Five Star Schools district. The school ranks among the top elementary schools in Colorado, consistently placing in the 90th percentile or higher statewide over the past decade, including a #62 rank out of 943 schools for the 2025–26 school year.

The school's academic results are far above district and state averages. On the most recent CMAS tests, 72.3% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, 68.2% in math, and 64.6% in science — compared with district averages of 42.3%, 35.5%, and 35.6%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is just 12.1%, well below the district rate of 32.2%. Meridian also stands out for its extraordinary outcomes with economically disadvantaged students, ranking #6 in the state (98th percentile) for low socio-economic status students in 2025–26.

Compared with nearby schools, Meridian posts the highest overall proficiency rates in ELA, math, and science. It outperforms close neighbors in the same district, such as Hunters Glen Elementary and Centennial Elementary, and it also exceeds schools in higher-ranked neighboring districts like Boulder Valley School District and St. Vrain Valley School District — including Kohl Elementary and Black Rock Elementary. While 5th grade math (59% proficient) is the school's relative weak spot, Meridian's overall record of sustained excellence makes it one of the strongest elementary options in the region.
