Summary:
The Alliance Jack H. Skirball Middle District contains a single public charter middle school, Alliance Jack H. Skirball Middle, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 400 students. The school has faced challenges in recent years, with fluctuating statewide rankings and SchoolDigger ratings, as well as academic performance that has consistently fallen below state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
One significant concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 33.7%, which is significantly higher than the state average. This may be impacting the school's academic outcomes, as the proficiency rates in ELA and Math range from 22% to 47%, while the science proficiency rate is higher at 34%. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 98.25% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the students.
Despite these challenges, the data suggests that Alliance Jack H. Skirball Middle has the potential to improve its performance. By addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and implementing targeted interventions to support student learning, the school may be able to raise its academic proficiency levels and provide a better educational experience for its students.
