Stratton Middle School

Stratton Middle School is a small rural middle school located in the remote area of Stratton, Colorado. Serving students from sixth to eighth grade, the school has an enrollment of 52 students and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 17.3:1 with three full-time equivalent teachers. While the academic performance metrics suggest there's room for improvement—ranking at the 17th percentile statewide—the close-knit community fosters a supportive learning environment where each student receives individual attention.

The school’s MySchoolScout rating of 3.4 out of 10 and an academic score of 3.0 out of 10 indicate areas needing focus, particularly in ELA/Reading with only 26% proficiency and Math with 24%. However, the small class sizes allow for personalized instruction tailored to each student's needs. Stratton Middle School is situated in a quiet rural setting where students benefit from close relationships with teachers and peers.

This community atmosphere provides a nurturing environment conducive to academic growth and personal development.

With an enrollment of 52 students, Stratton Middle School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

Located in a rural area, Stratton Middle School may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
