Blevins Middle School

Summary:

Blevins Middle School is a public middle school in Fort Collins, Colorado, serving 504 students in grades 6-8 and part of the highly-ranked Poudre School District R-1. While the school has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages.

Blevins Middle School has a higher percentage of Hispanic (21.63%) and African American (2.38%) students than the surrounding area, and a larger proportion of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 44.05% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's proficiency rates on the CMAS tests in English Language Arts (40.4%) and Math (38.8%) are below the district (59.3% and 50.1%) and state (44.1% and 34.2%) averages. However, Blevins does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16:1, which is lower than the district average and some of the nearby schools like Preston Middle and Kinard Core Knowledge Middle.

Blevins Middle School has consistently ranked in the middle range of Colorado middle schools, typically around the 150th-200th position, and has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school's performance is generally lower than the nearby high-performing schools, it outperforms some of the lower-performing schools in the surrounding Thompson School District. The school's lower academic performance, particularly among its Hispanic and low-income student populations, suggests that Blevins may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address achievement gaps and improve overall student outcomes.

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.
