SILVERTON MIDDLE SCHOOL

SILVERTON MIDDLE SCHOOL is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Silverton School District No. 1 in the county of San Juan school district, located in SILVERTON, CO with about 18 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 3 teachers, SILVERTON MIDDLE SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

SILVERTON MIDDLE SCHOOL, located in the historic mountain town of Silverton, Colorado, serves as a unique educational pillar within one of the state’s most remote and rugged landscapes. Because of the town's small population and geographic isolation in the San Juan Mountains, the school operates as an integral part of the Silverton School District, often functioning with a close-knit, community-centered approach that prioritizes individualized instruction and experiential learning.

The school’s curriculum leverages its distinctive location, frequently integrating the surrounding high-altitude environment into its academic programming. Students at SILVERTON MIDDLE SCHOOL benefit from a tight-knit educational atmosphere where faculty and staff are deeply connected to the local community. By emphasizing both core academic standards and the unique challenges and opportunities of living in a mountain town, the school strives to prepare its students for success in both the broader world and their local community.
