Summary:
The Weld County School District Re-3j has only one middle school, Weld Central Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. Located in a rural area, the school has 525 students, with a racial makeup of 46.86% White and 47.43% Hispanic. However, Weld Central Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to state averages, ranking in the bottom quartile of Colorado middle schools over the past three years.
Academically, Weld Central Middle School struggles significantly, with only 21.6% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 11.4% in Math, and 16.3% in 8th-grade Science, all well below the state averages. The school's high percentage of students (52.76%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that economic challenges may be a contributing factor to the academic difficulties. Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.7, the school's performance indicates a need for targeted interventions and support to help improve student outcomes.
Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of Weld County School District Re-3j's sole middle school, Weld Central Middle School, which is significantly underperforming compared to state standards. The district must closely examine the factors contributing to the school's poor performance and implement effective strategies to support its students and improve academic achievement.
