Summary

Longs Peak Middle School is a public middle school in Longmont, Colorado, serving 382 students in grades 5-8 as part of the St. Vrain Valley School District. While the district is ranked 27th out of 115 in Colorado and has a 4-star rating, Longs Peak Middle School consistently underperforms compared to district and state averages on academic measures.

In the 2024-2025 school year, only 25.6% of Longs Peak students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 50.9% for the district and 44.8% for the state. In math, only 14.8% of Longs Peak students were proficient or better, compared to 45.4% for the district and 35.9% for the state.

Thursday, November 2, 2017

Love this school! One of the last real neighborhood schools in a district that bends over backwards to parent will. Great teachers who care a lot about the students and their success. It's clear they understand that not all achievement and successes can be measured with test scores. There is truly a sense of belonging among students and family atmosphere. Wouldn't send my kids anywhere else. Close Quote
