Middle Schools in Los Angeles Unified


Summary:

The data set provided information on 83 middle schools located within the Los Angeles Unified School District. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and vary significantly in their academic performance, chronic absenteeism rates, and socioeconomic status of their student populations.

The top-performing middle schools in the district are generally the public charter schools, such as Alfred B. Nobel Charter Middle, Paul Revere Charter Middle, and Robert Frost Middle, which have over 70% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and over 60% proficient or better in Mathematics. In contrast, schools like James Madison Middle, South Gate Middle, and Bret Harte Preparatory Middle have significantly lower academic performance, with less than 30% proficiency in both subjects.

The data also reveals a strong correlation between academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic status. Schools with the lowest chronic absenteeism rates, such as Oliver Wendell Holmes Middle, Mark Twain Middle, and Katherine Johnson STEM Academy, tend to be the higher-performing public charter schools. Conversely, schools with the highest chronic absenteeism rates, like James Madison Middle, Audubon Middle, and Marina del Rey Middle, are generally the lower-performing traditional public schools with higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students.
