Whittier Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades KG–05 in BOULDER. It is one of 56 current school records connected to Boulder Valley School District No. Re2. NCES reports 269 students for 2024–25.
Among 1,017 elementary schools in Colorado with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 370 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 23th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 13.2:1, below the Colorado median of 15.1:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are White (55.8%) and Hispanic or Latino (33.8%). English learners represent 21.4% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 19.9%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to gifted and talented programming. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
