Superintendent/Principal Jeff Elliott is continually encouraged by the growth he’s seeing at Boulder Elementary, despite the challenges that come with it.

According to Boulder Elementary Business Manager/Clerk Britton Mann, Boulder Elementary hasn’t seen such growth in decades. Ten years ago, Boulder Elementary had 126 students. Five years ago, there were 132 students, and enrollment has gone up consistently since.

For the 2022-23 school year, Boulder Elementary has 218 students, which Elliott said is hard to believe considering the school hadn’t had more than 200 students in decades.
