Summary:
The Durango School District No. 9-R in Colorado is home to two middle schools: Escalante Middle School and Miller Middle School. Both schools have maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating strong performance within the district and the state.
In terms of academic achievement, both schools outperform the state average in Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) English Language Arts assessments, with Miller Middle School particularly excelling in this area. However, in Mathematics, while the schools still surpass the state average, their scores fall below the district average, suggesting an opportunity for improvement in this subject. Dropout rates and chronic absenteeism are consistent at 1.9% and 27.7%, respectively, for both schools, which is an area that may require further attention.
The demographic profiles of the two schools differ, with Escalante Middle School serving a higher percentage of students from low-income families and having a higher student-to-teacher ratio compared to Miller Middle School. These factors may contribute to the observed performance differences between the schools, and it is important to consider them when evaluating the overall educational landscape in the Durango School District No. 9-R.
