Summary:
The middle schools located in the Aurora Joint District No. 28 in Colorado serve students in grades 6-8 and showcase a range of academic performance. While some schools, like Columbia Middle School and Aurora Science & Technical Middle School, demonstrate relatively stronger academic results, others struggle to meet state proficiency standards.
The data reveals significant differences in test scores and proficiency rates across the middle schools. Columbia Middle School and Aurora Science & Technical Middle School stand out, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to the district and state averages. However, the remaining schools, such as Aurora Hills Middle School, Mrachek Middle School, East Middle School, and North Middle School Health Sciences and Technology, struggle to meet state standards, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support.
The high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.92% to 92.66%, suggest that the middle schools in the Aurora Joint District No. 28 serve economically disadvantaged communities, which can contribute to the academic challenges they face. The presence of a public charter school, Aurora Science & Technical Middle School, also highlights the importance of school choice and the potential for alternative educational environments to provide opportunities for students to access higher-performing schools.
