The school is part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1, which is ranked 29 out of 115 school districts in Colorado and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a highly-ranked school district, Everitt Middle School consistently underperforms compared to other middle schools in Colorado. The school has a low 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance, and its rankings for various student subgroups, including females, males, Hispanics, and low socioeconomic status students, are all in the bottom quarter of Colorado middle schools. Everitt Middle School's test scores on the CMAS assessments are significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates around 10-20 percentage points lower. Additionally, the school struggles with high dropout rates and chronic absenteeism, reaching as high as 43.8% in the 2023-2024 school year.

When comparing Everitt Middle School to other nearby schools within the Jefferson County School District, such as Creighton Middle School, Oberon Middle School, and Drake Junior High School, Everitt consistently underperforms in terms of statewide rankings, test scores, and student group performance. While the school's performance for white students and in 8th grade English Language Arts is slightly better than its overall performance, addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's challenges, such as socioeconomic status and student engagement, could be crucial in helping Everitt Middle School improve and better serve its student population.

fantastic school and staff - there is a big focus on kids being active and having a positive attitude. My son is new to the school and is absolutely thriving. I highly recommend Everitt Middle School! Close Quote

My child has thrived at this school. The teachers are caring and always willing to help in any way they can. My student gets help where she needs help, and challenged where they know she can exceed. Looking for a STEAM program? Their Tech Ed has a full workshop, taught by a math teacher who exposes them to AutoCAD and engineering principles. The art teacher is nothing short of amazing.
They also have a full core GT program. Too much to fit in this little review, but Everitt is a one-stop-shop neighborhood school. Close Quote
