A Nationally Recognized and Award-Winning School

Compass Community Collaborative School was one of the highest achieving middle schools in the Poudre School District as measured by state testing in 2022 and again in 2023. April 2023 CMAS testing ranked our middle school at the top of the District in English Language Arts as measured by the percent of students who met or exceeded academic achievement expectations for the State of Colorado!
CMAS 2022

As the data makes clear, Compass has been working hard to come back from the pandemic stronger and better than ever. While most schools in our state and district saw a decline in performance and growth between 2019 and 2022, our students earned an EXCEEDS rating in both math and English achievement and our growth metrics outpaced the district averages. Additionally, our science assessment scores matched the district for 11th-grade and exceeded the district's achievement in our 8th-grade. We attribute our success to the quality of our teachers, our innovative programming and high expectations, and the strong, pro-social culture of our small school.

If that's not enough, check out all the ways we spent our first four years winning national and local recognitions and earning over one million dollars in grants and awards!
