Boulder Valley School District No. Re2

The Boulder Valley School District No. Re2 is home to 55 schools, including 34 elementary schools, 9 middle schools, 10 high schools, and 2 alternative schools, serving students across a diverse range of communities. The district is highly regarded, ranking 4th out of 116 districts in Colorado and earning a 5-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Several schools within the district stand out for their exceptional academic performance. Fairview High School ranks 5th out of 349 Colorado high schools, with 91% of 11th graders proficient or better in SAT Reading/Writing and 75% in SAT Math. At the elementary level, Bear Creek Elementary School and High Peaks Elementary School are ranked 6th and 4th, respectively, out of 943 Colorado elementary schools, with outstanding test scores across all grade levels. The district's high-performing charter schools, such as Summit Middle Charter School, also demonstrate the benefits of school choice.

However, the data also reveals disparities in educational opportunities and outcomes within the district. Schools with more diverse student populations, such as Alicia Sanchez International School and University Hill Elementary, tend to have lower academic proficiency rates compared to schools with less diverse enrollments. Additionally, the district's alternative schools, Arapahoe Ridge High School and Boulder Prep Charter High School, face significant challenges in serving at-risk student populations. Addressing these disparities will be crucial for ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students within the Boulder Valley School District.
