Best Schools in Greenwood Village, Colorado

Greenwood Village sits within the Cherry Creek School District, one of Colorado's most competitive, and its 7 ranked public schools reflect that association directly. The city averages 7.8 out of 10 across all ranked schools — and 5 of those 7 schools, or 71%, score 7.0 or higher. That kind of consistency across a small city signals a system where strong performance is the norm, not an exception reserved for one flagship school.

Cherry Creek Charter Academy anchors the elementary tier with a 9.4 out of 10 — the highest score in the city and a standout result by any metro-area benchmark. The charter model means enrollment involves an application process with its own timeline, so families should confirm enrollment windows early. Below it, Belleview Elementary scores 8.0 and Greenwood Elementary scores 7.3, both clearing the city's already-high average. Parents entering at kindergarten have three realistic options, all of them performing well.

The middle school picture is equally strong. West Middle School scores 8.8 — close enough to Cherry Creek Charter Academy's ceiling that the transition from elementary to middle doesn't represent a quality drop. Campus Middle School follows at 8.1. Having two middle schools scoring above 8.0 in the same city is uncommon and gives families genuine choice at that grade level rather than a single default option.

For parents comparing Greenwood Village against other Denver suburbs, the 7.8 city average and narrow performance range — from 7.3 at the low end to 9.4 at the top — tell a practical story. There's no school in the ranked pool that significantly underperforms the rest. The real decision is whether Cherry Creek Charter Academy's application process is workable for your family. If it is, that 9.4 score makes it the strongest entry point in the city. If the charter timeline doesn't fit, the remaining schools still place Greenwood Village near the top of the metro for school quality.
