Middle Schools in Jurupa Unified

The Jurupa Unified School District in California is home to three middle schools: Jurupa Middle, Mission Middle, and Mira Loma Middle. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and provide a range of educational opportunities within the district.

Among the three middle schools, Jurupa Middle stands out as the highest performer, with the best test scores and lowest chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, Mission Middle has the lowest test scores and the highest chronic absenteeism rate, making it the lowest-ranked school in the district. Mira Loma Middle falls in the middle, with performance metrics between the other two schools.

The data also reveals that the Jurupa Unified School District as a whole is underperforming compared to state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. This could be attributed to factors such as high poverty levels, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 75% to 89% across the three middle schools, as well as attendance issues, with chronic absenteeism rates as high as 38.4% at Mission Middle. Addressing these challenges could be key to driving improvements across the district.
