Summary:
The Hughson Unified school district in California has only one middle school, Emilie J. Ross Middle, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and rating over the past few years, it continues to be an important part of the local community.
Emilie J. Ross Middle has faced some academic challenges, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science falling below the state averages. The school's performance in English Language Arts/Literacy is more mixed, with 8th-grade students slightly outperforming the state average. Compared to the Hughson Unified district, Emilie J. Ross Middle's proficiency rates are generally on par or slightly higher, except for Mathematics, where the school's performance is lower.
Another area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which may be contributing to the overall academic performance. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, with 51.83% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor could also impact the school's ability to provide the necessary resources and support for its students. Moving forward, the Hughson Unified district and Emilie J. Ross Middle may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.
