Summary

Denver Green School Northfield, a middle school serving 558 students in grades 6–8 in Denver, CO, stands out as one of the top-performing schools in the state. As part of School District No. 1 — a district that ranks in the 38th percentile statewide — Denver Green has earned a 5-star rating every year since 2021–2022 and currently ranks 16th out of 469 Colorado middle schools, placing it in the top 4%. No nearby school comes close: most rank in the bottom half of the state, with some like Montbello Middle School and Rocky Mountain Prep Noel near the very bottom.

Academically, Denver Green's test scores are dramatically higher than those of surrounding schools. In 2025–2026, 78.6% of its students scored proficient or advanced in English Language Arts, compared with 42.5% for School District No. 1 and 44.7% statewide. The next-best nearby school, DSST: Conservatory Green Middle School, posted only 42.7%. In math, Denver Green's 73.7% proficiency rate is nearly 40 points above its district and 46 points above DSST: Montview Middle School, the closest nearby alternative. Science scores follow the same pattern: 63.6% proficient versus 30.5% for the district. Denver Green also has far better attendance, with an 18.2% chronic absenteeism rate compared with 38.1% for the district, 28.4% statewide, and 40–49% at many nearby schools.

Perhaps most impressive is how consistently the school serves all students. Denver Green ranks 5th in the state for Hispanic students, 7th for low-income students, and in the top 20 for White, male, and female students. About 24% of its students qualify for free/reduced lunch, a lower rate than nearby schools where 69–92% qualify. Even its low-income students perform exceptionally well compared with similar students statewide. Math proficiency has climbed steadily from 59.8% to 73.7% over three years. While science scores dipped slightly in the most recent year, Denver Green remains a clear standout — a high-performing school in a region where most middle schools are struggling.
