Brentwood Middle School

Summary:

Brentwood Middle School is a public middle school in Greeley, Colorado, serving 557 students in grades 6-8. The school faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance on state assessments compared to the state and district averages.

Brentwood Middle School has a student population that is 64.63% Hispanic, significantly higher than the state average of around 30% for middle schools. The school also has a lower percentage of White students (24.96%) compared to the state. Brentwood's students struggle academically, with only 33.1% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 17.3% proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 44.1% and 34.2%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students and students with low socioeconomic status, who rank in the bottom half of Colorado middle schools on state assessments.

Brentwood Middle School's academic challenges may be influenced by its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with around 78% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's consistent underperformance and widening achievement gaps compared to other schools in the region suggest that targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve educational outcomes for its students. Nearby middle schools like Windsor Middle School, Windsor Charter Academy Middle School, and Severance Middle School, which are part of the Weld County Reorganized School District No. Re-4, may provide useful comparisons and insights for Brentwood Middle School and the Greeley School District No. 6.

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.

Open Quote My daughter has gone to school at a charter school in Loveland, CO, then was homeschooled while we lived in Florida. After we moved back to CO, we choose to live in Greeley. I was very concerned about putting my daughter in a regular public school after spending her school career in a charter and being homeschooled.
I was VERY wrong to be concerned!! Brentwood has been the best thing to happen to my 8th grade daughter. Brentwood offers everything that a parent could ever hope for: excellent teachers who truly care about the students, a principal and assistant principal who are extremely helpful, incredible band and choir teachers and programs, and so much more. I was blown away with the band concert. I was expecting sounds that come out of a cat in pain (because these kids were beginning and in middle school), but those teachers got their students to sound almost professional!
Also, my daughter has been able to participate in an acting competition and has been taken on several field trips. My philosophy is that children learn best, NOT by sitting in a chair and being lectured to, but by experiencing all of their learning. WOW, does Brentwood live up to my philosophy!
Thank you to all at Brentwood! You have made a very nervous mother feel that her daughter is, not only safe, but given a rigorous curriculum that is interesting and taught by caring teachers. Close Quote

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.
