Eaton Middle School

Summary:

Eaton Middle School is a public middle school in Eaton, Colorado, serving 465 students in grades 6-8. It is part of the Weld County School District No. Re-2, which is ranked 15 out of 116 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Eaton Middle School stands out for having a higher percentage of white students (around 72%) and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (around 30%) compared to nearby schools. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in math and science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 29% of Eaton Middle School students were proficient or better in CMAS Math, compared to 41.6% for the district and 34.2% for the state. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past decade, from 120 out of 436 Colorado middle schools in 2014-2015 to 255 out of 485 in 2023-2024.

Eaton Middle School's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as white students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's academic performance is also generally lower than the nearby Platte Valley Middle School and Windsor Charter Academy Middle School, which have higher CMAS test scores and statewide rankings. The lower academic performance of Eaton Middle School may be influenced by factors such as the school's higher percentage of low-income students, which can be associated with various socioeconomic challenges that can impact student learning.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
