Schools in Erie Colorado

The number of new home sales in Erie has of course brought with it some exciting new schools. Erie’s third elementary school is likely to be constructed two years ahead of schedule due to an unexpected increase in student enrollment. Last August, Black Rock elementary opened in Vista Ridge subdivision and will be at 123 percent of capacity in the fall of 2009. By 2012, both Erie Elementary and Black Rock will be at 128 percent of capacity. Erie received a dedicated school sight from the developer of Canyon Creek subdivision and the town is negotiating terms with the St.Vrain Valley School District prior to deeding the parcel to them. The property is located on the east side of 119th Street, between Erie Parkway and Jasper Road. If agreement is reached in the next few weeks the school could be completed in time to open in the fall of 2011.
