Summary

[Timberview Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/CO/schools/0192001462/school.aspx) serves 837 students in grades 6–8 in Colorado Springs, CO, as part of [Academy School District No. 20](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/CO/district/01920/search.aspx), one of Colorado's top-rated districts. 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.

Open Quote The school is attractive and well-maintained. The teachers are personable. The students actually are proud of their school. I have visited because my grandson attends Timberview and I am a retired principal. Great spirit! Close Quote

Open Quote This is not a good school. They have too many principals and they lack professionalism and caring. They do not offer courses for different levels of learning. They have almost NO special ed services. They treat parents and students poorly. They have the attitude that they can get away with anything and it looks like the board and parents allow it. I would not recommend them for any student! Close Quote
