Summary:
The Oroville City Elementary district in California is home to two middle schools: The Studios @ Central and Ishi Hills Middle. Both schools have consistently low academic performance, ranking in the bottom quartile of California middle schools over the past few years.
The data reveals that both schools face significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (45.6% at The Studios @ Central and 38.5% at Ishi Hills Middle) that are well above the state average. Additionally, the schools' proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are substantially lower than the state averages across all grade levels. Both schools serve a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates of 80.46% at The Studios @ Central and 64.57% at Ishi Hills Middle.
These findings suggest that the Oroville City Elementary district may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address the unique needs of its middle school students. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, providing additional academic support, and leveraging community resources could be important steps in improving the educational outcomes for these students.
