Summary

The school currently ranks 115th out of 469 Colorado middle schools, placing it in the 75th percentile with a 4-star rating—a meaningful improvement from 142nd and 170th in the prior two years. Historically, Timberview ranked in the mid-60s statewide, then slipped, and now appears to be recovering.
Academically, Timberview beats the state average in English Language Arts (54.4% proficient vs. 44.7% statewide), Math (46.3% vs. 37.3%), and Science (55.6% vs. 35.4%), but trails its own district average in all three subjects. Among nearby D20 middle schools, Timberview trails most, including [Discovery Canyon Campus Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/CO/schools/0192006616/school.aspx), [The Classical Academy Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/CO/schools/0192001931/school.aspx), [Challenger Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/CO/schools/0192000001/school.aspx), and [Village Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/CO/schools/0192006478/school.aspx). [Mountain Ridge Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/CO/schools/0192001593/school.aspx) is its closest match, ranking 119th with similar proficiency patterns. The school's standout data point is how well it serves historically underserved students: low-income students rank 21st of 230 statewide (91st percentile) and Hispanic students rank 21st of 207 (90th percentile), both earning 5-star ratings, with dramatic improvements over the last three years.
Timberview's subject-area trends are uneven but encouraging. Math proficiency grew from 34.8% to 46.3% in two years, and science jumped from 33.0% to 55.6%. ELA, however, has stayed essentially flat and is now the lowest among nearby D20 middle schools. The school serves a more economically diverse population than most D20 peers, with 31.8% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch. Chronic absenteeism (19.4%) is far healthier than nearby non-D20 schools like [Sabin Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/CO/schools/0306000234/school.aspx) (43.2%), [Russell Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/CO/schools/0306000263/school.aspx) (45.4%), [Jenkins Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/CO/schools/0306001683/school.aspx) (41.0%), and [Skyview Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/CO/schools/0387001799/school.aspx) (34.1%). When compared to those schools, Timberview dramatically outperforms them in academics and attendance. It's an improving school to watch, with ELA proficiency remaining the main challenge.
