Summary:
The Santa Ana Unified School District in California is home to 6 middle schools, serving students in grades 6-8. The data reveals a significant performance gap between the top-performing schools, Gonzalo Felicitas Mendez Fundamental Intermediate and Douglas MacArthur Fundamental Intermediate, and the remaining four schools in the district.
The top two schools stand out with the highest test scores across various subjects and grade levels, as well as the highest statewide rankings among the schools listed. In contrast, Raymond A. Villa Fundamental Intermediate, Gerald P. Carr Intermediate, Julia C. Lathrop Intermediate, and Willard Intermediate have significantly lower test scores and statewide rankings.
The data also reveals that the lower-performing schools tend to have higher rates of chronic absenteeism and a greater percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may be contributing factors to their academic struggles. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios vary widely across the schools, suggesting that factors beyond just the student-teacher ratio may be influencing the schools' academic outcomes. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the performance gaps within the Santa Ana Unified School District.
