Summary:
The Fowler Unified school district has only one middle school, John Sutter Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has maintained a relatively consistent statewide ranking over the past three years, its academic performance in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science is mixed compared to district and state averages.
John Sutter Middle School has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 86.8%, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is also a significant concern at 25.7%. Additionally, the student-teacher ratio of 22.9 is slightly higher than the recommended range, which may impact the ability of teachers to provide individualized attention and support to students.
Overall, the analysis suggests that while John Sutter Middle is performing at or slightly below the district and state averages in core academic areas, the school faces challenges related to high poverty and chronic absenteeism. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and support could be crucial for improving the school's overall performance and student outcomes.
