Skoglund Middle School

Summary:

Skoglund Middle School is a public middle school located in Center, Colorado, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 142. The school is part of the Center Consolidated School District No. 26 Jt., which is ranked 114 out of 116 school districts in Colorado and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Skoglund Middle School consistently performs below the state averages in CMAS assessments, with proficiency rates of just 22.8% in English Language Arts, 7.2% in Math, and 8.5% in Science, compared to the state averages of 44.1%, 34.2%, and 32.2%, respectively. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing 423 out of 485 middle schools in Colorado, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school's low-socioeconomic status (SES) students performed relatively better, ranking 56 out of 222 Colorado middle schools in this subgroup, the school's performance for female and male students is still below average.

Interestingly, the nearby Monte Vista Middle School and Sargent Junior High School also struggle academically, with proficiency rates below the state averages. This suggests that the challenges faced by Skoglund Middle School may be reflective of broader regional or district-level issues, as the Monte Vista School District No. C-8 and Sargent School District No. Re-33J also perform poorly compared to the state.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
