Middle Schools in State Charter School Institute

The State Charter School Institute in Colorado oversees three middle schools, serving students in grades 6-8. Based on the data provided, Mountain Middle School stands out as the highest-performing institution in the area, consistently ranking among the top 35 middle schools in the state with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mountain Middle School significantly outperforms the State Charter School Institute and Colorado state averages in academic proficiency across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 75.1% of its students were proficient or better in CMAS English Language Arts, compared to just 40.5% for the district and 44.1% for the state. The school also maintains a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at under 33%, and a student-teacher ratio of 21.3, lower than the 29.6 ratio at Victory Preparatory Academy.

In contrast, Victory Preparatory Academy and Prospect Academy do not stand out as strongly. Victory Preparatory Academy has lower academic performance and a higher percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch at 83.64%. Prospect Academy is the smallest school with only 61 students and lacks some of the detailed performance data available for the other two schools. Overall, the data highlights significant variation in the quality and resources of middle schools within the State Charter School Institute, with Mountain Middle School emerging as the clear standout.
