Summary:
Parlier Unified School District has only one middle school, Parlier Junior High, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of California middle schools over the past 3 years, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state averages.
Parlier Junior High has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (97.71%), indicating a high-poverty student population. The school's student-teacher ratio of 21.1 is slightly higher than the state average, which may suggest resource constraints that could be impacting the school's ability to provide individualized attention and support to students.
Overall, the data suggests that Parlier Junior High is a struggling school that is performing well below the state averages in academic achievement. Addressing the persistent low performance, significant proficiency gaps, and the needs of the high-poverty student population will likely require a comprehensive and targeted approach to improve educational outcomes for the students at this school.
