Boulder Valley School District No. Re2

Boulder Valley School District No. Re2 serves 28,357 students across 56 schools in Colorado, making it a mid-to-large district with a notably strong academic profile. With 54 ranked schools averaging a 7.6 out of 10, the district performs well above what most families find in comparable Colorado districts — that average alone signals consistent quality across buildings, not just at the top.

Creekside Elementary School at Martin Park leads the district with a 9.3 out of 10, one of the highest elementary scores in the state. It sits alongside a deep bench of high-performing elementaries: Eisenhower Elementary at 9.0, and Kohl, Nederland, and High Peaks Elementary schools each rated 8.9. The fact that five schools clear the 8.9 mark points to something more than isolated pockets of excellence — it reflects a district-wide floor for elementary education that parents can rely on regardless of which school serves their neighborhood.

That consistency matters most when families are comparing districts rather than individual schools. A high average score across 54 ranked schools means students are less likely to fall through cracks tied to attendance boundaries. In many districts, top-rated schools mask weak performers elsewhere. Boulder Valley's 7.6 district average suggests that gap is narrower here than in most.

For parents weighing elementary options specifically, the concentration of top-rated schools gives Boulder Valley a clear edge. Five of the district's highest-profile elementaries all score within half a point of each other, which tells parents that strong outcomes aren't limited to one attendance zone. Families relocating to the area or open-enrolling have real choices rather than a single standout surrounded by average alternatives. Boulder Valley School District No. Re2 is worth serious consideration for any parent prioritizing both peak performance and reliable baseline quality across the board.
