Most similar on neighborhood income and education, free/reduced lunch, English learners and special education. Blue: above expected; red: below; gray: within normal swings.
Middle grades (grades 6–8)
Not compared with other schools: fewer than 45 scores. These schools don’t serve a defined neighborhood, so a demographic comparison wouldn’t be fair. Results are shown for reference.

Who it serves
The measures behind the comparison
Bars: this school (the area around it for education). Black tick: average of Colorado elementary schools.
Neighborhood family income (families with children near the school, NCES): 6.0× the poverty line. Enrollment (K–12): 272. Education is for adults aged 25–44 — the ages most likely to be parents — because the Census doesn’t publish parents’ education below the district level.
How to read this
Each school’s CMAS scores are compared with what Colorado schools serving similar students score, using a model fit across all neighborhood schools. “Vs. expected” is in CMAS scale-score points; growth is CDE’s median growth percentile (50 is typical). Full method and caveats.
