Summary

Columbine Elementary School is a PK–6 elementary school in Woodland Park, CO, serving 321 students in the Woodland Park School District No. Re-2. While the district itself is strong — ranked 29th among 115 Colorado districts with a 4-star rating — Columbine's own state ranking is notably weaker, sitting at the 46th percentile (2 stars) in 2025-2026. This marks a decline from the low-to-mid 60th percentile range the school held between 2016 and 2019.

Academically, Columbine trails both its district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math. In 2025-2026, 37.3% of students were proficient in ELA (compared to 41.5% for the district and 44.7% statewide) and 34.5% were proficient in math (compared to 36.1% for the district and 37.3% statewide). The most telling comparison is with Summit Elementary, the same-district school that achieves 48.5% ELA proficiency and 42.6% math proficiency despite similar poverty rates and higher chronic absenteeism. Columbine isn't uniformly low, though: 3rd-grade math (50% proficient) and 6th-grade ELA (50% proficient) are competitive with state averages, while 4th- and 5th-grade ELA lag notably behind.

For parents, the rising student-teacher ratio stands out as a key concern — it has climbed from 13.1 to 18.8 in just two years, the highest among all nearby comparison schools. The share of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch has also jumped from 26.9% to 41.7% over the same period. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism (19.5%) remains well below the state rate of 28.4%. Overall, Columbine is a mid-to-lower-performing school within a strong district, with genuine bright spots but a clear need for targeted support in upper-elementary literacy and math.
