About Eldorado K-8 School

Eldorado K-8 School serves 559 students in Superior, Colorado, spanning prekindergarten through eighth grade within a single public school community. It earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — anchored by a 9.5 academic score and a 9.1 growth score. Those two figures together signal a school that produces strong outcomes consistently, not just at a single point in time.

The performance rankings paint a sharp picture. Eldorado ranks 18th out of 1,006 elementary schools across Colorado, placing it in the top 2% statewide. It outperforms 99% of all Colorado public schools — an achievement that puts it well above the vast majority of schools in a competitive state, and at the top of the local rankings in Superior itself.

At a student-teacher ratio of 16.9:1, class sizes stay workable. The PK–8 grade span lets families commit their children to one building from preschool through middle school, avoiding the transition that often disrupts momentum at the fifth- or sixth-grade mark. For parents tracking both academic performance and consistent growth, Eldorado's numbers are hard to argue with.
