Summary:

Windsor Middle School is a public middle school located in Windsor, Colorado, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 818 students. The school is part of the Weld County Reorganized School District No. Re-4, which is ranked 16th out of 116 school districts in Colorado and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Windsor Middle School has a predominantly white student population, with 78% of students identifying as white, which is higher than the state average and the nearby Severance Middle School (68.28% white) and Windsor Charter Academy Middle School (80.68% white). The school's performance on CMAS tests is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, with some notable exceptions, such as outperforming the state average in 8th grade Science and having a significantly higher 7th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate. However, the school faces challenges in closing achievement gaps for white students and improving performance for gifted and talented students compared to nearby high-performing schools like Windsor Charter Academy Middle School.

Windsor Middle School has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 11.58% to 16.99% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average and suggests a relatively affluent student population. However, the school's performance for low socioeconomic status students is strong, indicating the school is effectively supporting this population. The school's student-teacher ratio is on par with or slightly lower than the nearby schools, ranging from 15.6 to 16.7 over the past few years.

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.
