U.S. News recently released its rankings of this year's best public high schools in the Denver area, and Denver Business Journal has previously reported on the best elementary schools in the metro for 2019.
So what about middle schools, which also play an important role in the transition to pre-college academic work?
DBJ consulted with neighborhood and schools website Niche to determine the top public middle schools in the Denver area. Niche bases its grades and rankings on multiple factors, including data from the U.S. Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics and information provided by students and parents.
