Summary

Sproul Junior High School, located in Colorado Springs, CO, serves 504 students in grades 6–8 and operates within School District No. 3. The school currently holds a 3-star state ranking, placing it in the 61st percentile of Colorado middle schools — the highest rating among traditional public middle schools in its immediate area.

Sproul's standout strength is its academic performance, particularly in math and science at the 8th-grade level. Eighth-grade math proficiency sits at 48.9%, far surpassing both the district (32.3%) and state (37.8%) averages, while 8th-grade science proficiency (41.3%) also significantly exceeds state norms. All-grade math proficiency (35.4%) is well above the district average (29.5%) and comparable nearby schools such as Janitell Junior High (23.4%) and Watson Junior High (27.0%). Only the charter school The Vanguard School outperforms Sproul in these measures, making Sproul the top traditional public middle school in the area.

The school also shows exceptional results for Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students, with both groups ranking in the top quartile statewide. Chronic absenteeism (31.6%) remains higher than the state average (28.4%) though notably lower than nearby schools like Jack Swigert Middle School (63.8%), Panorama Middle School (49.3%), and Fox Meadow Middle School (45.5%). Dropout rates have been consistently low in recent years, and the school has shown steady improvement since the pandemic, reaching its highest percentile ranking in nearly a decade.
