Summary:
The Modesto City Elementary school district in California is home to 4 middle schools: Roosevelt Junior High, Mark Twain Junior High, La Loma Junior High, and Evelyn Hanshaw Middle. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and provide a range of academic and extracurricular opportunities.
Among the middle schools, Roosevelt Junior High stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 1522 out of 2777 California middle schools in 2023-2024. It outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates, and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 28.2% compared to the other schools. La Loma Junior High is the second-highest ranked school in the district, performing better than the district average in core academic subjects.
However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing school and the lower-performing schools, such as Mark Twain Junior High and Evelyn Hanshaw Middle. Additionally, high chronic absenteeism rates across all the middle schools suggest a need for targeted interventions to improve student attendance and engagement. The socioeconomic factors, as indicated by the high percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, also highlight the unique challenges faced by these schools and the importance of providing appropriate resources and support to address the needs of their student populations.
