We just started this year and the support from the staff has been amazing! Having a child with a learning disability, was a breath of fresh air having a strong support system. They went out of their way to make my kiddo feel included (it is scary going to a new school) and know he has support and help.

We looked at a number of schools in the south Denver metro/Highlands Ranch area and Eldorado checked all the boxes. The standardized test scores weren't great on the face of things, but scratch beneath the surface and you can see that the climate and culture of the school is exceptional, and is on pace to overtake other schools in the area. Since the new leadership team has come in, they have really worked to change the culture of the school to strongly facilitate the educational progression, social and emotional growth of all students at Eldorado. We feel there is a climate of high expectations across all classrooms and grades, which will accelerate our children going forward.

We've had our kids at Eldorado for 9 years and have been so happy. There's an amazing sense of community and the school really does put the students first. Our kids have GT/Advanced Learning needs and the staff and teachers have made great accommodations to make sure their needs are met and they are being challenged. The Specials program provide a well-rounded education for every student. We would highly recommend Eldorado Elementary!

Great. When we moved to Highlands Ranch we considered and toured several schools in the area. In the end, it was important to us for our kids to go to school with our neighbors and community. We couldn't have made a better choice. I would highly encourage other prospective parents to come in, have a tour, and check out what Eldorado has to offer their student!

We hit the school JACKPOT with Eldorado and would never consider another school! Every time I'm in the building, I find myself more and more impressed with the variety of programs, amazing opportunities, and outstanding faculty/administration at Eldorado. Our children wake up each morning excited to go to school, and we as parents feel fantastic about how they spend their days and the preparation they are receiving for their future education. We are so fortunate that Eldorado is our home school!

Eldorado Elementary has gone above and beyond to help my son succeed. He is on an IEP and part of the significant needs program. I am continually impressed.

My daughter started Kindergarten last year there and I like the teachers and people that work there. Front office is very welcoming. Last year the rating was 8 and not sure what happens but its now 7.

I have two children attending Eldorado and I am thrilled with this school! The Administration is constantly advancing forward and bringing more opportunities to the school. I truly feel like this staff has the STUDENT's best interest in mind.

Eldorado is a FABULOUS school!!! The principal is the most amazing person and cares so much about ALL of the students. She radiates a positive attitude and it is infectious. The teachers are top-notch and care about their students. They are great with communication and take parental concerns seriously. The administration and staff are wonderful - and they work so hard to keep the school running smoothly! The students at Eldorado are kind and thoughtful, and there are several activities for them to be involved in. The PTO organizes several fun community events throughout the year that really bring the parents and students together, as well as community members without kids at Eldorado. There are many volunteer opportunities for parents, which is a great way to give back to the school that puts so much effort into educating your child(ren)! Volunteers for field trips, book fairs, family events, and classroom volunteers make a big difference for the school in a positive way. If you are considering sending your child(ren) to Eldorado, I would strongly urge you to do so!

This is my 9th year as a parent at Eldorado. My family loves this school. We recently moved out of the feeder zone for Eldorado but I open enrolled my kids here. I can't imagine sending my children to any other school. On a daily basis the staff, teachers and administration make us feel welcome, safe and important. It is such a great community too! There are so many activities for the whole family, from a family fun run to a parent's trivia night! There is something for everyone!

The staff is very very rude and don't really seem to care about your child. The students called my son poor, were very mean and hurtful. I got him out of there, thank goodness. I have never in my life come across such cold and rude people.

Both my kids have attended Eldorado Kindergarden through 6th grade and I have always found the teachers and staff respectful, kind, and responsive to my kids needs. They address parent concerns and implement proactive ways to better the education experience at Eldorado. Some schools may have slighly higher test scores but I honestly beleive you will not find a more nuturing enviroment for your children.

I love this school. The level of parental and administrative involvement is second to none. The teachers are genuinely interested in the students success and communicative about their progress. The principal, John Malconian, is such a positive roll model for staff, students, and parents aliike. My daughters consistently test at or above grade level. It's so refreshing to be involved in a school which is focused on educating students to become future leaders. Amazing!
