Summary

Jenkins Middle School is a grades 6–8 middle school in Colorado Springs School District No. 11 serving 791 students in a middle-income area of Colorado Springs, with about 44% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. The school ranks 169th of 469 Colorado middle schools (64th percentile, 3 stars) and has held that solidly above-average position for four consecutive years. Its CMAS proficiency rates in every core subject—ELA at 47.6%, math at 39.4%, and science at 35.5%—exceed both the district and statewide averages.

Jenkins clearly outperforms its closest district neighbors. Sabin Middle School and Russell Middle School, both in the same district, posted ELA scores in the low 30s and math scores in the mid-20s, while Jenkins was comfortably above both. Jenkins is the highest-performing traditional school outside Academy School District No. 20, but it still trails the D20 schools sitting just a few miles away: Challenger Middle School, Chinook Trail Middle School, Village Middle School, Mountain Ridge Middle School, and Timberview Middle School all rank in the 75th–88th percentile statewide, with ELA proficiency ranging from 54% to 66%.

Jenkins shows notable strengths for specific student groups. Hispanic students ranked in the 74th–78th percentile statewide, and low-income students ranked in the 81st percentile in 2024–25. Math proficiency has climbed steadily from 32.0% in 2022–23 to 39.4% in 2025–26, though ELA dipped in the latest year and 7th-grade math lags behind a strong 6th-grade showing. Chronic absenteeism affects 41.0% of students—lower than Sabin's 43.2% and Russell's 45.4%, but far above the state rate of 28.4%. The student-teacher ratio of 19.2:1 is also higher than most comparable schools. If attendance improves, Jenkins has genuine potential to close more of the gap to the high-performing schools around it.
