Summary

Falcon Middle School is a grades 6–8 middle school in Peyton, CO, serving 866 students in El Paso County Colorado School District 49. The school has been on a steady upward climb in recent years: after ranking in the 37th percentile statewide in 2022-2023, Falcon now sits at the 54th percentile (217th of 469 Colorado middle schools), earning a 3-star rating. That puts it ahead of same-district peers like Horizon Middle School and Skyview Middle School, though it still trails several nearby schools in Academy School District No. 20, including Challenger Middle School and Chinook Trail Middle School.

Falcon's clearest academic strength is English Language Arts. In 2025-2026, 46.2% of students were proficient in ELA, above both the district (45.5%) and state (44.7%) averages, and well ahead of Horizon Middle School (37.8%) and Skyview Middle School (35.3%). Science is another bright spot: 36.5% of 8th graders were proficient, beating the district (32.7%), the state (35.4%), and nearby Russell Middle School (21.7%). Math, however, remains the school's biggest challenge. Just 24.6% of students were proficient in math, well below the state average of 37.3% and below every comparable nearby school. The weakness is most pronounced in 6th and 7th grades, where proficiency rates were 23.5% and 18.2% respectively.

The school has also made impressive strides in attendance. Chronic absenteeism fell from 33.3% in 2023-2024 to 24.8% in 2024-2025, putting Falcon below both the district average (26.1%) and state average (28.4%), and far better than several neighboring schools. One area of concern is the school's support for its most advanced learners: Falcon's Gifted and Talented students ranked at the 10th percentile statewide, suggesting the school may not be fully meeting the needs of its highest-performing students. Overall, Falcon is an improving mid-tier school with real strengths in literacy, science, and attendance — and a clear opportunity to grow in math.
