Our School
A primary goal of the Columbine school community is to serve a broader spectrum of its north Boulder neighborhood's children. Parents are encouraged to learn about Columbine's new initiative in talented and gifted education, its clear and focused approach to math instruction, and its unique method of reducing kindergarten through fifth-grade class sizes to 18. Because the school enrolls many children learning English as their second language, aggregate CSAP test scores are lower than some other schools. However, Columbine students achieve some of the greatest year-to-year growth in CSAP scores in all of the Boulder Valley. This reflects the dynamic learning environment created by teachers who are masters in challenging all children.
