Everitt Middle School

Summary:

Everitt Middle School is a public middle school located in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 515 students. The school is part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1, which is ranked 35 out of 116 school districts in Colorado and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite Everitt Middle School's relatively diverse student population, with 46.99% White and 44.08% Hispanic students, the school's academic performance is consistently below the district and state averages. The school ranks between 284 and 377 out of 369 to 485 Colorado middle schools, and its performance on CMAS tests in English Language Arts, Math, and Science is significantly lower than nearby schools like Creighton Middle School and Oberon Middle School. Additionally, Everitt Middle School has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 65.63% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is much higher than the nearby schools.

The school's performance in the Gifted and Talented program is also relatively low, ranking in the bottom quarter of Colorado middle schools in this category. These challenges suggest that Everitt Middle School may need to implement targeted interventions, provide additional resources and support, and explore strategies to better meet the diverse needs of its student population to improve academic outcomes and ensure all students, including those who are gifted and talented, have access to appropriate educational opportunities.

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.

Open Quote fantastic school and staff - there is a big focus on kids being active and having a positive attitude. My son is new to the school and is absolutely thriving. I highly recommend Everitt Middle School! Close Quote

Open Quote My child has thrived at this school. The teachers are caring and always willing to help in any way they can. My student gets help where she needs help, and challenged where they know she can exceed. Looking for a STEAM program? Their Tech Ed has a full workshop, taught by a math teacher who exposes them to AutoCAD and engineering principles. The art teacher is nothing short of amazing.
They also have a full core GT program. Too much to fit in this little review, but Everitt is a one-stop-shop neighborhood school. Close Quote

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.
