Summary:
The Antelope Elementary School District in California is home to two middle schools: Berrendos Middle and Lassen-Antelope Volcanic Academy (LAVA). While both schools serve students in grades 6-8, the data suggests that Berrendos Middle is the stronger-performing institution, consistently outranking LAVA on academic measures such as test scores and proficiency rates.
Berrendos Middle holds a 3-star rating on the SchoolDigger scale, compared to LAVA's 2-star rating. Berrendos also boasts higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. However, LAVA stands out for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 3.7%, compared to Berrendos' 20.4%. This suggests LAVA may have more effective attendance policies or a stronger school culture that keeps students engaged.
The data also reveals socioeconomic differences between the two schools, with LAVA having a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 75.53%, compared to Berrendos' 56.18%. This context is important when interpreting the academic performance data. Overall, the insights highlight the contrasting strengths and challenges faced by these middle schools within the Antelope Elementary district.
