Summary:
The EJE Middle Academy District consists of a single public charter middle school, EJE Middle Academy, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 254 students. The school has faced significant challenges in recent years, with declining performance and low rankings compared to other California middle schools.
EJE Middle Academy has seen a concerning trend of declining school rankings and ratings, dropping from a 3-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 1-star rating in 2022-2023. The school's proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics are significantly lower than the state average across all grade levels. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates in CAST/Science for 8th grade and End of Course are also below the state average.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (66.93%) suggests that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be contributing to the lower academic performance. To address these issues, the school and district should prioritize strategies to improve student outcomes, such as addressing chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions to raise academic proficiency levels.
