About Severance Middle School (7755)
A MESSAGE FROM:
Severance Middle School
2025-2026
Severance Middle School (SMS) opened in 2009 to serve a small but growing rural community within the Weld RE-4 School District. When the building first opened, it welcomed 257 students, laying the foundation for a strong sense of connection and identity in its early years. Since then, Severance Middle School has grown alongside the community, experiencing significant increases in enrollment as the community expanded. During the 2021?2022 school year, SMS experienced a particularly notable period…
of growth, adding 170 students and nine new staff positions to support the larger student body. At that time, the school served 673 students: 231 sixth graders, 235 seventh graders, and 207 eighth graders. As of the 2025?2026 school year, Weld RE-4 opened its third middle school, Ridgeline Middle School. This prompted boundary adjustments, which reduced the number of SMS students to 580. The current grade-level enrollment consists of 192 sixth graders, 186 seventh graders, and 204 eighth graders. While this marks a decrease in overall size, the adjustment enables SMS to maintain a more personal and close-knit learning environment while continuing to provide a wide range of academic and extracurricular opportunities. Student Demographics Severance Middle School?s student population reflects the diversity of its surrounding community. Approximately 69.5% of students identify as White, while 30.5% represent a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds. Our free and reduced lunch population is 31%. This diversity enriches the school environment and underscores the importance of equitable access to learning opportunities for all students. Performance Data and Accreditation Severance Middle School received a 2023 state accreditation rating of Performance , with a designation of Meets in both Achievement and Growth. 2023 CMAS results highlighted the need to strengthen achievement in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, particularly for subgroups including Multilingual Learners (EL) and Students with Disabilities (SWD). In 2024, SMS received an accreditation rating of Improvement , falling just 0.4% short of Performance . Despite this, there were areas of positive growth, specifically within the SPED subgroup, which met expectations on growth metrics. This progress indicates that targeted supports are making a difference, though additional work is needed to raise overall proficiency levels. In 2025, the accreditation rating increased back to performance at 57.6%. SMS received Priority Needs Data indicate a continued need to increase proficiency across reading, writing, and mathematics, with a particular emphasis on: Writing : strengthening written expression, language, and conventions within ELA. Mathematics : improving student reasoning, problem-solving, and modeling skills. Improvement Focus With a smaller enrollment and a strengthened focus, Severance Middle School is uniquely positioned to deepen relationships, provide increased individualized support, and foster high levels of academic achievement. Our Unified Improvement Plan will prioritize equity, rigorous instruction, and a positive school culture that builds on SMS?s traditions while preparing students for success in an evolving and diverse community.
