Summary:
The Central Unified school district in California is home to three middle schools: Glacier Point Middle, Rio Vista Middle, and El Capitan Middle. Among these, Rio Vista Middle stands out as the highest-performing school, with a strong statewide ranking, significantly higher test scores, and lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to the other two schools and the district/state averages.
Rio Vista Middle has a statewide ranking of 810th out of 2,777 California middle schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students consistently outperform their peers in the district and state in English Language Arts/Literacy and other subject areas. In contrast, Glacier Point Middle and El Capitan Middle have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates, indicating room for improvement.
The data also reveals differences in the socioeconomic status of the schools, with Rio Vista Middle having a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the other two schools. This suggests that factors such as resource allocation, teaching quality, and student demographics may contribute to the performance gaps observed across the district. By identifying and addressing these disparities, Central Unified can work to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
