Deer Creek Middle School is unique in Jeffco, serving both the Chatfield community and the surrounding areas with two academic pathways: Humanities and STEM. Both pathways support the competencies of the Jeffco Generations Vision, but each has a distinct focus to appeal to learners of different strengths and interests. With over 50 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.
