Summary:
The Reef-Sunset Unified school district has only one middle school, Reef Sunset Middle, which serves grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Reef Sunset Middle appears to be a low-performing school, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing middle schools in California over the past three school years.
Reef Sunset Middle's academic performance is significantly below state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 13.85% to 23.18% in English Language Arts and 5.79% to 9.23% in Mathematics across different grade levels. The school's science proficiency rates, as measured by the CAST exam, are also very low, with only 7.37% of students scoring proficient or better. Compared to the Reef-Sunset Unified district, Reef Sunset Middle's performance is slightly below the district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
In addition to the low academic performance, Reef Sunset Middle faces other challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.5% and a very high percentage of students (92.35%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. The school's student-teacher ratio of 20.9 is also slightly higher than the typical recommended ratio. These factors suggest that Reef Sunset Middle may require targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
