Middle Schools in School District No. 1

School District No. 1 in Colorado is home to 30 middle schools serving students in grades 6-8, with a diverse range of academic performance and student demographics. The data highlights several standout schools, as well as significant disparities in outcomes across the district.

At the top of the district's middle schools are McAuliffe International School, Morey Middle School, and Denver Green School Northfield, all of which rank among the best in Colorado and boast exceptional proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, schools like Montbello Middle School and West Middle School struggle academically, with single-digit proficiency levels.

The data also reveals stark differences in student demographics and socioeconomic factors across the district. Schools with higher percentages of students from low-income families, such as Kepner Beacon Middle School and KIPP Sunshine Peak Academy, tend to have lower academic performance, underscoring the challenges of addressing educational equity in School District No. 1. Understanding these patterns can inform efforts to improve outcomes for all students in the district.
