Summary

Fort Morgan Middle School is a public middle school serving 772 students in grades 6-8 in Fort Morgan, Colorado, which is part of the School District No. Re-3 Fort Morgan. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado middle schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past five years.

Fort Morgan Middle School's academic performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, is consistently below the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 12.5% in math to 28.3% in 8th grade English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 35.9% and 43.9%, respectively. The school also faces challenges with high dropout rates, ranging from 1.7% to 2.7% in recent years, and chronic absenteeism, with rates between 25.7% and 27.7%, significantly above the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby Wiggins Elementary School, Wiggins Middle School, and Brush Middle School also perform poorly compared to the state averages, suggesting that the challenges faced by Fort Morgan Middle School may be reflective of broader issues within the region. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 43.63% to 70.6% in recent years, which likely contributes to the school's academic and attendance challenges.
