They say it takes a village — and that includes great schools. Whether you’re raising a future scientist, artist, athlete or all-of-the-above, the local schools in Westminster offer plenty of opportunities to learn, grow and thrive. (Plus, some exciting changes on the horizon).
Westminster Public Schools is all about moving forward, whether that’s with hands-on STEM programs, a competency-based approach or making sure students are ready for what’s next. With a focus on innovation and strong teachers leading the way, there’s plenty to get excited about. Best of all? It’s an open-choice district, so you can choose the school in Westminster that suits your student best.
John E. Flynn Elementary (a Marzano Academy) isn’t just about hitting the books — it’s about building a well-rounded, thriving community. With a strong focus on student well being, an engaged PTO and some of the best instructors in Colorado, it’s a school where kids don’t just learn: they excel, connect and grow.
Shaw Heights Middle School is where students don’t just learn — they lead, create and get ready to take on the world. Whether it’s performing arts, leadership training or college prep through AVID, this is a place that challenges students to think big and step up.
Westminster High School is more than a place to hit the books. It’s where students find their rhythm in top-tier performing arts, gear up for the future with hands-on career training and bring their A-game in 5A athletics. Big opportunities, real-world skills and a whole lot of school spirit — it’s all happening here.
Plans are underway to transform both John E. Flynn Elementary and Shaw Heights Middle into pre-K to 8th-grade STEM-focused campuses thanks to a $40M+ bond. Stay tuned — there’s more to come.
A great education, right across the street. Crown Pointe Academy is a tuition-free K-8 charter school with small class sizes, big learning opportunities and a curriculum that actually sticks.

And with land dedicated by Uplands for future expansion, this already top-notch school is only growing — just like the kids who go there.
Ranum Innovation Campus is where careers take off. High schoolers can dive into Aviation Engineering, Cyber Technology or Biotechnology. With brand-new facilities and even more pathways coming soon, Ranum is all about real-world skills and big opportunities — right here in Westminister.
