Our Purpose

Wildflower Elementary is a school that strives to give all students a foundation in the basic skills of learning and problem solving so they can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, now and in the future. Wildflower Elementary has a strong partnership with the community and offers a variety of enrichment programs for all types of learners from pre-school through fifth grade.

Throughout the school year, Wildflower utilizes the school action plan as a means to focus efforts toward improving student achievement.  While there is still work to be done on raising student achievement, Wildflower students have made great gains in academic growth according to the Longitudinal Student Growth Model measurement used by the Colorado Department of Education.
