Summary:
The Rim of the World Unified school district in California contains only one middle school, Mary P. Henck Intermediate, which serves grades 6-8. Based on the available data, this school appears to be underperforming compared to district and state averages across various academic metrics.
Mary P. Henck Intermediate's standardized test scores in English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 19.73% to 43.35% in ELA/Literacy, compared to the state averages of 45.82% to 47.19%.

The school's 8th grade Science proficiency rate was only 6.9%, compared to the state average of 28.95%.
Additionally, the school faces other challenges, such as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 41.5% and a student-teacher ratio of 23.4, which is slightly higher than the typical recommended range. The school also serves a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, with 61.2% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. These factors may contribute to the school's academic struggles and suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for the students at Mary P. Henck Intermediate.
