Summary:
The Pollock Pines Elementary school district contains a single middle school, Sierra Ridge Middle, which serves grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Sierra Ridge Middle appears to be an underperforming school compared to state and district averages across multiple academic measures.
Sierra Ridge Middle has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger and is ranked 1513 out of 2777 California middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Sierra Ridge Middle has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.3%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
The data also indicates that 50.19% of students at Sierra Ridge Middle receive free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While this may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance, it is important to note that socioeconomic status alone does not determine a school's success. The school and district leadership should focus on addressing the specific challenges faced by Sierra Ridge Middle, such as improving attendance and implementing targeted interventions to support student learning and achievement.
