Summary:

The city of Craig, Colorado has only one middle school, Craig Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado middle schools over the past three years and has received low performance ratings from SchoolDigger.

Craig Middle School faces significant challenges in academic proficiency, with proficiency rates in CMAS English Language Arts and Math well below the state averages. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 58.65% in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the school has high rates of chronic absenteeism at 27.7% and a dropout rate of 1.9% in the 2023-2024 school year.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.9 to 1, this alone does not seem to be enough to overcome the broader challenges the school is facing. Addressing the low academic proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and dropout rates should be a priority for Moffat County School District RE: No. 1 in order to improve the quality of education for students at Craig Middle School.
