Among the student body, 54.5% were boys, 45.4% were girls, and 0.1% did not specify their gender or identify with either category.
Data also showed that most of the students were white (702), representing 68.9% of the West Middle School total enrollment. Hispanic or latino students comprised the second-largest ethnic group, with 156 students (15.3%).

In total, there were 881,065 students enrolled in Colorado during the 2024-25 school year.
Colorado’s K–12 enrollment has gradually declined each year since the pandemic, with about 3–4% fewer students in 2024 than the state’s peak enrollment in 2019.
The declines are concentrated in the early grades and certain rural areas, while some metro districts are holding steady or growing. Lower birth rates and pandemic disruptions are driving the trend. Colorado’s public schools are now serving the smallest number of students in a decade, a shift that has implications for funding and planning even as per-pupil resources increase to compensate.
Colorado’s teacher workforce faces persistent shortages and pay challenges. In the 2023–24 school year, nearly 7,000 teaching positions were vacant statewide at some point. Districts managed to fill only about 75% of those openings with fully qualified hires, leaving many to be filled by short-term substitutes, retirees, or emergency credentials for the rest, while 9% remained unfilled for the entire school year.
