Summary:
There is only one middle school located in School District No. Re-1 Valley, which is Sterling Middle School. This school serves students in grades 6-8 and has a diverse student population, with a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
While Sterling Middle School was previously ranked higher among Colorado middle schools, its ranking has declined in recent years, from 198 out of 458 schools in 2018-2019 to 334 out of 485 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's academic performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, is below the state and district averages in most subjects and grade levels, with particularly low proficiency rates in science, English language arts, and math.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Sterling Middle School suggests that the school serves a population with a relatively high level of economic need, which may contribute to the academic challenges observed. The school and district may need to focus on targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes, particularly in the core subject areas.
