Summary

Eaton Middle School serves 485 students in grades 6 through 8 in Eaton, Colorado, a small town in Weld County. The school is part of Weld County School District No. Re-2, one of Colorado's top-ranked districts, yet Eaton itself holds a more mid-pack 3-star rating, ranking 193rd of 469 Colorado middle schools in 2025–26 (59th percentile). That's a modest improvement from recent years, when the school ranked in the 52nd percentile in 2024–25 and 47th percentile in 2023–24.

Academically, Eaton's students score right around state averages on Colorado's CMAS assessments. In 2025–26, 42.1% were proficient in English Language Arts (state: 44.7%), 36.6% in math (state: 37.3%), and 34.9% in 8th-grade science (state: 35.4%). There's a notable grade-level pattern in math: 8th graders outpaced the state by nearly 8 points (45.5% vs. 37.8%), while 7th graders lagged slightly behind. Eaton's results are comparable to nearby Severance Middle School and Windsor Middle School, and comfortably ahead of most Greeley-area schools like Prairie Heights Middle School, Heath Middle School, and Franklin Middle School. Its closest geographic neighbor, Highland Middle School, has nearly the same poverty rate, yet Eaton outperforms it by more than 20 points in ELA and 10 points in math. By contrast, Kinard Core Knowledge Middle School and Windsor Charter Academy Middle School—both with much lower poverty rates—rank far higher academically.

Eaton's clearest strength is attendance. Its chronic absenteeism rate is just 12.8%, far below Colorado's statewide rate of 28.4%. Nearby schools with similar test scores, like Severance Middle School, have nearly double Eaton's rate (23.9%). The school also reported zero dropouts where data are available. One area worth watching is subgroup performance: White students, low-income students, and gifted/talented students at Eaton rank below the statewide median for those groups, and Eaton trails its own district's averages by 6.6 points in ELA and 10 points in math. Overall, Eaton is a stable, mid-performing school with excellent attendance and strong 8th-grade math and science, but room for growth in literacy and across specific student groups.
