Summary

Severance Middle School serves 670 students in grades 6–8 in Windsor, CO, and is part of the Weld County Reorganized School District No. Re-4, a district ranked in the 83rd percentile statewide. The school itself is a solid mid-tier performer, ranking 202nd out of 469 Colorado middle schools (57th percentile, 3 stars) for the 2025–2026 school year, and it has remained in the 3-star band for the past decade.

One of the school's standout strengths is its 6th grade cohort. Severance 6th graders outperform both district and state averages in ELA (44.3% proficient vs. 41.5% district and 41.6% state) and math (34.5% vs. 32.3% and 32.7%). The school also does exceptional work with gifted and talented students, ranking in the 86th percentile statewide — far above its overall 57th percentile ranking. Within the district, Severance outperforms Windsor Middle School in ELA and math, but trails Windsor Charter Academy Middle School, which ranks in the 81st percentile. Notably, Severance serves a higher share of students eligible for free/reduced lunch (33.6%) than either of those schools, making its relative performance noteworthy.

The school's main challenges are chronic absenteeism and a dip in achievement in upper grades. At 23.9%, chronic absenteeism is well above the district rate of 17.4% and much higher than nearby Eaton Middle School (12.8%) and Windsor Charter Academy (9.5%). The free/reduced lunch rate has risen sharply from 25.4% to 33.6% over three years, while overall proficiency has held steady. All-grade ELA (41.8%) and math (32.9%) trail district and state averages, and 8th grade science (28.1%) lags notably behind the district. Comparing Severance to Eaton — which serves a similar economic demographic — Eaton posts higher math and science scores with roughly half the chronic absenteeism, suggesting attendance is a key lever for improvement.

Little to no support from administration and staff when you are actively looking for academic and emotional support for your struggling student. Transition from elementary to middle school is not easy to begin with but when the teaching staff is rude and children feel uncomfortable asking for help in class there is a problem. There is no administrative presence at school events and I witnessed on multiple occasions the use of drugs during sporting events as well as theft but there was no one to report it too beyond the coaches who were inaccessible due to them coaching the games. There were over 6 student safety incidents with in the first couple months school. Those ranges from threats of violence from students to other students, weapons located on campus, a child being severely injured with no known witness of the account, a fight in a class room that resulted in school lock down and parents not notified until after school was over. I called the school because my daughter texted to tell me she was safe and ok and I had heard nothing from the school previous to that. I removed my child for all of these reasons. Close Quote
