Summary:
The Coalinga-Huron Unified school district in California is home to two middle schools: Coalinga Middle and Huron Middle. Both schools have consistently performed poorly, ranking in the bottom 10% of California middle schools and earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, the schools struggle, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science well below the state averages. For example, the percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics ranges from just 6.31% to 11.96% at Coalinga Middle and 5.31% to 9.57% at Huron Middle, compared to the state average of 31.57% to 34.31%. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with rates as high as 31.0% at Huron Middle.
The student populations at both schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with 84.06% of Coalinga Middle students and 98.1% of Huron Middle students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This high level of economic disadvantage may contribute to the schools' struggles. Despite these challenges, the data shows no signs of improvement, with both schools remaining in the bottom 10% of California middle schools for the past three school years.
