ABOUT THE SCHOOL/DEPARTMENT
Deer Creek Middle School is a neighborhood school serving 525 students in grades 6-8. Half of our students come from our two neighborhood feeder schools, Stony Creek Elementary and Ute Meadows Elementary, and half choice-enroll from over 25 public, charter, private and home school settings. Deer Creek is unique in Jeffco, serving both the Chatfield community and the surrounding areas with two academic programs: Humanities and STEM. Both programs support the competencies of Jeffco Thrives 2025, but each has a distinct focus and learning environment to appeal to learners of different strengths and interests. With over 40 exploratory, elective, and support classes available to students in 6th-8th grade, Deer Creek also offers the widest selection of elective programming among middle schools in Jeffco. Our philosophy is that middle level learners need both opportunities to explore a range of electives, as well as avenues to focus on specific interests.
