Peakview Elementary School

What Peakview Elementary School does

Peakview Elementary School is a public K-5 elementary school ("Home of the Eagles") operated within Cherry Creek School District No. 5, headquartered in Centennial, Colorado. It is one of 43 elementary schools in a district that serves nearly 53,000 students across preschool through 12th grade. The school delivers full-day kindergarten through fifth-grade core academics (kindergarten, first through fifth grade), complemented by specials programs in Art, Music, Physical Education, and STEAM — an interdisciplinary Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics curriculum — plus comprehensive support services for special populations (special education, gifted and talented, intervention, mental health, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and English language support). Auxiliary programs include a Preschool program and Preschool Enrichment, an Adventure Club before- and after-school care service, on-site student health and nursing services, and free meals for all students through Colorado's Healthy School Meals for All program. Community engagement is formalized through the SOAR behavior framework (Safety, Ownership, Acceptance, Readiness), the Eagle Eyes parent volunteer program, a PTO, a School Accountability Committee, and parent-led groups.

The school's business model is primarily government-funded: it receives state and federal education funding, local property taxes, and voter-approved bond proceeds allocated by Cherry Creek School District, with no tuition charged for standard K-5 instruction. A secondary revenue layer consists of fee-based, pay-as-you-go charges for Adventure Club before care ($10.00 daily) and after care ($18.00–$20.00 daily), a $10.00 annual non-refundable registration fee per child, and ancillary purchases such as $20 birthday marquee messages. Outreach and enrollment operate through district-managed channels, including a school-choice/locator system, the school website (peakview.cherrycreekschools.org), district Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram accounts, and parent communication portals.

Operating as a government state entity, Peakview has no private equity, venture capital, or individual ownership structure; governance rests with the elected CCSD Board of Education and district administration under Interim Superintendent Dr. Jennifer Perry. Recent strategic positioning includes the 2026 Governor's Distinguished Improvement Award for sustained academic growth, a 2026 Educator of the Year honoree (Jacqueline Cermeno), participation in district partnerships for electric school bus deployment with Highland Electric Fleets and Xcel Energy (announced 2026-06-04) and a teacher apprenticeship program with Community College of Aurora (announced 2026-03-11), and a district-level partnership with Denver NWSL tied to a Centennial stadium project.
