Jordahl Elementary School

Jordahl Elementary School earns a composite score of 8.9/10 — rated Excellent — placing it 70th among 1,815 public schools in Colorado and outperforming 96% of schools statewide. That rank also makes Jordahl the top-performing elementary school in Fountain, a result that stands out clearly for families comparing local options. The school serves 521 students in kindergarten through fifth grade at a student-teacher ratio of 16.3:1.

Its academic score of 8.6/10 signals consistent, strong instruction across grade levels. The growth score of 9.5/10 is the standout figure. Growth measures how much a school accelerates student progress relative to where those students started — year over year, not just at one snapshot in time.

A 9.5 puts Jordahl well ahead of nearly every Colorado elementary school on this dimension, and it's the kind of score that matters most to parents thinking long-term about their child's academic trajectory. Jordahl operates as a regular public school with no selective admissions. The 521-student enrollment is a full neighborhood cohort, not a curated one.

The Excellent rating reflects what the school consistently delivers across a broad, unfiltered student population.
