Summary:
Mendota Unified school district has only one middle school, Mendota Junior High, which serves grades 6-8. The school's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science significantly below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24%, and a very high percentage of students (98.61%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Mendota Junior High is ranked 1745 out of 2777 California middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 1745 to 1911 out of the state's middle schools. This suggests that the school may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, and the economic challenges faced by the student population may be contributing to the academic underperformance.
With only one middle school in the Mendota Unified district, it is difficult to make meaningful comparisons within the district. Expanding the data set to include more schools in the district or the surrounding region would provide a more comprehensive understanding of the school's performance relative to its peers. However, the available data indicates that Mendota Junior High faces significant challenges in terms of academic achievement, attendance, and socioeconomic factors, which may require targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for its students.
