Q: Is Berry Creek Middle School a good school?

Berry Creek Middle School ranks 318 th of 485 Colorado middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Berry Creek Middle School is a public middle school in Edwards, Colorado, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 221. The school is part of the Eagle County School District No. Re 50, which is ranked 54 out of 116 school districts in Colorado and has a 3-star rating.

Berry Creek Middle School faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Colorado middle schools with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (33.5%) and Math (19.8%) are significantly below the district (39.4% and 26.8%) and state (44.1% and 34.2%) averages, particularly for its majority Hispanic student population. However, the school's low-income student group performed better than the overall school, ranking 120 out of 244 Colorado middle schools in both subjects.

Compared to nearby schools, World Academy Middle School, a virtual public school, has a significantly different student demographic, with 85.71% White students. Meanwhile, Eagle Valley Middle School, another public middle school in the same district, outperforms Berry Creek Middle School across all academic measures. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8 students per teacher suggests that class size may not be a significant factor in its performance, and other factors, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school culture, may be more influential.

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.
