Summary:
Woodland Park Middle School is the only middle school serving zip code 80863, offering grades 7–8 within the Woodland Park School District No. Re-2 area. The school enrolls 195 students with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.6, creating a relatively intimate learning environment. About 39.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating meaningful economic diversity within the student body.
Performance here is mixed. The clearest strengths are in 8th-grade math (41.4% proficient) and 8th-grade science (38.6%), both comfortably above state averages. Chronic absenteeism of 21.5% also beats the statewide rate of 28.4%. However, 7th-grade math proficiency is just 15.8%, roughly half the district's 31.6%, and English Language Arts trails both district and state averages in grades 7 and 8. This pattern contributed to a statewide rank slide from the 69th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 52nd percentile in 2024–2025, though the school has maintained a 3-star rating.
Relative to its own district, Woodland Park Middle School is not driving the district’s strong 75th-percentile (4-star) ranking; the school itself sits at the 52nd percentile. The biggest opportunity for improvement is targeted intervention in 7th-grade math, while continuing to build on the school’s solid 8th-grade STEM results. Families will appreciate the small class sizes, better-than-average attendance, and science and 8th-grade math performance, but should keep in mind that literacy and early middle-school math remain consistent areas of concern.
