Middle Schools in Delta County Joint District No. 50

The Delta County Joint District No. 50 in Colorado is home to three middle schools: Delta Middle School, Cedaredge Middle School, and Delta Academy of Applied Learning. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and provide a range of educational opportunities within the Delta County Joint District No. 50.

Among the three schools, Cedaredge Middle School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking higher in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings and outperforming Delta Middle School in CMAS/Science, CMAS/English Language Arts, and CMAS/Math assessments. Cedaredge Middle School also has a lower percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients compared to Delta Middle School. In contrast, the smaller Delta Academy of Applied Learning has a very low student-teacher ratio of 12.9, which could contribute to more personalized attention for its 25 students.

Overall, the data suggests that factors such as socioeconomic status and racial/ethnic diversity may play a role in academic achievement within the Delta County Joint District No. 50. While Cedaredge Middle School stands out as the top performer, the district-level performance indicates room for improvement across the middle schools to better support student learning and academic outcomes.
