Welcome to Parmalee Elementary School. We are delighted to welcome you and your student. We are often referred to as the “hidden gem” of Jefferson County Public Schools. While we are part of one of the largest school districts in the state, the Parmalee staff works hard to individualize learning and to always do what is best for each of our students. The entire staff stands behind these three pillars of education: relationships, relevance, and rigor.
Parmalee Elementary has been ranked as one of the top performing schools in the State of Colorado. We have been the recipients every year of The John Irwin School of Excellence and the Governor’s Distinguished School Improvement Awards, for over a decade. Additionally, our recent School Performance Framework (SPF), which is the State’s report card for each school, showed that we earned 99.3% out of 100 possible points. Parmalee is not only known for academic excellence, but also for promoting a welcoming, caring, and respectful environment.
