Summary
```html

Summit Elementary School is a pre-K through 6th grade school in Divide, Colorado, serving about 286 students as part of the Woodland Park School District Re-2. The school earned 3 stars from the state in 2025-2026, ranking in the 58th percentile of Colorado elementary schools — a solid, above-average result, though slightly down from its 4-star performance the prior year. It has consistently outperformed both its district and the state in English Language Arts and Math over the past several years, and its 12.5-to-1 student-teacher ratio is notably lower than many nearby schools, supporting more individualized attention.

Within its own district, it is a clear academic leader. Summit Elementary School substantially outperforms nearby Columbine Elementary School, which serves a similar share of economically disadvantaged families: Summit posts 48.5% ELA proficiency versus Columbine's 37.3%, and 42.6% math proficiency versus 34.5%. Summit's 6th grade results are especially strong, with 65.6% of students proficient in reading and 51.6% in math, both far above state averages — good news for families thinking about middle school readiness. Across the broader region, Summit sits below top-tier schools like Chipeta Elementary School and Woodmen-Roberts Elementary School, but it remains a dependable, above-average option that clearly outpaces several other nearby schools.

Still, there are a few areas worth watching. Third grade reading proficiency fell to 17.4% — dramatically below the state average of 40.8% — which deserves prompt attention, though it may reflect a small class cohort. Chronic absenteeism runs about 26%, above the district average, and science scores have swung widely from year to year, suggesting some inconsistency in instruction. On the positive side, Summit Elementary School has historically served low-income students well, and math performance across most grades remains solid. Overall, this is a school with genuine strengths in upper elementary and math, but families should keep an eye on early literacy and attendance.

Open Quote No information given about what was going in classroom when teacher emailed. No phone calls returned. Recent meeting for education board suggests Title I funds may have been funneled to other school in district. I am wondering if my student was purposely sabotaged in order for this to happen. Resources weren't offered until I threatened to pull my child out. Parents were ignored during scheduled conference. It's funny how my child is thriving in a better school where bullying is not tolerated. Resources with learning difficulties offered promptly at new school. Student is now thriving. Will not be returning. Also, teachers don't respect student's privacy and violated FERPA. 'School Nurse' wasn't licensed but assumed calling herself that. Proof in prior yearbook. Close Quote
