Soroco Middle School

Summary:

Soroco Middle School is a public middle school located in Oak Creek, Colorado, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 72 students. The school is part of the South Routt School District No. Re 3, which is ranked 13 out of 116 school districts in Colorado and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Soroco Middle School consistently outperforms the state and district averages in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school had an 81% proficiency rate in CMAS/Science for 8th grade, compared to the state average of 32.2%. Similarly, the school's proficiency rates in CMAS/English Language Arts for all grades (76.5%) and 8th grade (85%) were significantly higher than the state averages (44.1% and 42.8%, respectively). However, the school has a predominantly white student population (87.5%), which is higher than the nearby Steamboat Springs Middle School (80.28% white students). Additionally, Soroco Middle School has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 31.94% to 35.38% over the past three school years, compared to the 10.45% rate at Steamboat Springs Middle School.

Despite serving a more economically diverse population, Soroco Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.1 to 17.4 over the past three school years, which is lower than the 14.1 ratio at Steamboat Springs Middle School. This suggests smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students at Soroco. The school's consistent academic excellence, coupled with its socioeconomic diversity and low student-teacher ratio, present opportunities for targeted interventions and collaboration with neighboring schools, such as Steamboat Springs Middle School, to share best practices and support the diverse needs of their students.

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.
