Summary:
The Ontario-Montclair school district in California is home to 6 middle schools, serving students in grades 6-8. These schools vary significantly in their academic performance, with Serrano Middle standing out as the top performer, consistently exceeding district and state averages on standardized tests. In contrast, several other schools in the district struggle to meet state benchmarks, particularly in mathematics and science.
Ray Wiltsey Middle, Oaks Middle, and De Anza Middle all face challenges, with high rates of chronic absenteeism and a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. However, De Anza Middle stands out with its relatively low student-teacher ratio, which may be a strength.
Overall, the data reveals a mixed picture for the middle schools in the Ontario-Montclair district. While Serrano Middle is a high-performing school, the district faces significant challenges in supporting the academic success of its students, particularly in addressing chronic absenteeism and improving outcomes in mathematics and science across the majority of its middle schools.
