Summary

Fox Meadow Middle School is a public middle school in Colorado Springs, CO, serving 369 students in grades 6–8 as part of Harrison School District No. 2. The school serves a high-poverty community, with 81.6% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. It currently holds a statewide rank of 372 out of 469 Colorado middle schools (21st percentile), placing it in the bottom quartile. Chronic absenteeism is a defining issue: 45.5% of students are chronically absent, well above the district average of 33.1% and the state average of 28.4%.

Academic proficiency at Fox Meadow is low, particularly in math. Only 12.7% of students are proficient in math, compared to 24.8% district-wide and 37.3% statewide. ELA proficiency is 23.7%, roughly half the state rate of 44.7%. Nearby schools with lower absenteeism post far stronger results—The Vanguard School (Middle) has 50.2% math proficiency and 9.0% chronic absenteeism, while James Irwin Charter Middle School achieves 26.7% math proficiency with 9.8% absenteeism. Even Atlas Preparatory Middle School, which serves a similarly high-poverty population (85.8% free/reduced lunch), outperforms Fox Meadow in math (20.4% vs. 12.7%) with better attendance.

One of the most striking findings is the combination of a near-zero dropout rate (0.0–0.2%) with extremely high chronic absenteeism. Students remain enrolled but miss significant instructional time—a sign of disengagement rather than dropout. Despite a favorable 13.1:1 student-teacher ratio, achievement remains weak. The school's performance has declined sharply over the past decade, from the 57th percentile in 2016–2017 to the 21st percentile today. However, there is evidence of prior effectiveness: in 2022–2023, low-income students at Fox Meadow ranked at the 56th percentile statewide. This suggests that with a serious focus on improving daily attendance and instructional quality, the school can better serve its students.

Most teachers here are great, but the school has areas for improvement. Grade averages are low as of 2013 in math, reading and language arts. My child attended there for just over a month before we placed her into a different school due to a variety of issues that I felt were poorly handled. School needs to ensure that ALL staff understand how to handle children and parents with respect.

Female gym teacher disrespected me to my face and to my daughter with regards to a hand injury and a doctors note saying she can't write for 2 days. She felt it was unreasonable. Tried to force her to write with other hand, and when she couldn't pointed her out in front of class to try to abuse peer pressure to get my child to write.

A teacher sent my child down to the school nurse for a migraine, school nurse turned my child away for not having a hall pass...my child had to go back to other side of building to get it in order to get assistance from the nurse and to get me called to pick her up.

These are just two situations that we experienced before we enrolled her elsewhere. Close Quote

Minutes from Fort Carson, shopping, freeway. Besides a beautiful view of Cheyenne Mountain. An awesome, safe neighborhood surrounds the school. If I didn't have to drive to go to work to drop off my children, I'd feel good about them walking home safely. Wonderful teachers. I wish my oldest daughter had gone there instead of in another district we were stuck in. Close Quote
