About Creekside Elementary School at Martin Park
Creekside Elementary School at Martin Park serves 368 students in preschool through fifth grade in Boulder, Colorado, earning a composite score of 9.3 out of 10 — a mark that places it among the most exceptional public schools in the state. The school ranks #1 among all 29 public schools in Boulder and #6 out of 1,815 public schools statewide, landing in the top four elementary schools in Colorado. Academic performance drives the school's standing.
Creekside earns a 9.9 out of 10 academic score paired with a 9.7 out of 10 growth score — meaning students don't just arrive performing well, they continue gaining ground year over year. That growth figure outperforms 100% of Colorado public schools, a rare marker that reflects sustained momentum across grade levels rather than a single strong cohort. With 368 students and a 16-to-1 student-teacher ratio, class sizes stay manageable — a structural advantage for a school operating at the upper bound of academic performance.
Creekside functions as a regular public school, making its output particularly notable against selective or charter alternatives in the region. Families weighing elementary options in Boulder will find it difficult to top Creekside's combination of academic depth, consistent growth, and accessible enrollment.
