Superior Elementary Students

Superior Elementary is an outstanding neighborhood school serving more than 400 students. From its opening in 1996, our school has had a tradition of excellence, regularly earning state academic awards. However, the true essence of our school is the palpable energy you feel when you walk through the halls. Everyone, from students to families to teachers and staff, generates an excitement to learn, grow, and achieve.

Our school truly serves as a community center as most students walk or ride to school. During non-pandemic times, our school is filled with countless volunteers. Many parents, who work at organizations like Google and the University of Colorado, are often in classrooms sharing their expertise. Teachers are invested in the long history of excellence and are compelled to stay because of the enduring sense of community.

In recent years, Superior Elementary has faced adversity, but our commitment never diminished. Through leadership changes, the pandemic, and the most destructive wildfire in Colorado history, our community and school persevered. Numerous families lost their homes and were displaced during the Marshall Fire of 2021. Our community rallied together to support and love them. Superior staff immediately assessed the needs of families and provided various resources so that students could return to school as soon as possible. The social emotional well-being of students and families became our unified mission.

These challenges only fueled the spirit and energy you feel at Superior Elementary. We are stronger today, which is demonstrated by our resilience and unwavering dedication to excellence.
