Summary:

The Douglas County School District No. Re 1 in Colorado is home to 10 high-performing middle schools serving grades 6-8. These schools vary in size, student demographics, and academic achievement, but several stand out as top-tier institutions in the state.

At the top of the list is Rocky Heights Middle School, which consistently ranks among the best middle schools in Colorado with a 5-star rating. This school boasts exceptional test scores, particularly in science and English language arts, that exceed both district and state averages. Another high-achieving institution is Mountain Ridge Middle School, which ranks in the top 100 middle schools in Colorado and has strong performance in English language arts.

While the Douglas County School District No. Re 1 as a whole is highly ranked, there are notable disparities in academic achievement among the middle schools. Schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as HOPE Online Learning Academy Middle School, tend to have lower test scores, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance. Smaller schools and those with more diverse student populations also appear to face greater challenges compared to their larger, less diverse counterparts.
