Donned in the colors of its geological surroundings - the nearby Hogback Ridge of the Rocky Mountain foothills - Bear Creek K-8 Public School sports a thoughtful design.
The ground floor is home to a separate K-1 academy and a classroom pod for grades 2-5. The second level is dedicated to grades 6-8. All classrooms face north/south to maximize the bright Colorado daylight. With a student population of around 1,100, Bear Creek K-8 School has been ranked 496th (out of 992) in Colorado elementary schools and 188th (of 465) in Colorado Middle Schools. While lower than the state’s highest performers, test scores at Bear Creek K-8 are on par with state averages. Bear Creek K-8 is within the Jeffco Public School District, which is the second-largest school district in the state, serving nearly 80,000 students. The middle school offers opportunities for Spanish language immersion classes, interscholastic athletic programs, and a wide variety of elective options designed to encourage middle school students to discover their passions.
Bear Creek K-8 Public School encourages students’ ROARS – being responsible, on-task, achieving, respectful and self-disciplined.
