Summary:
The Spreckels Union Elementary School District is home to a single middle school, Buena Vista Middle, which serves grades 6-8. This school has consistently strong academic performance, ranking in the top 30% of California middle schools and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two years.
Buena Vista Middle's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in 7th and 8th grade. The school's Science proficiency rates, as measured by the CAST exam, are also above the district and state averages, though there may be room for improvement as the proficiency rates are still below 50%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 11.5% is worth monitoring, as high rates of chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes.
With 14.63% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Buena Vista Middle appears to serve a relatively diverse student population in terms of socioeconomic status. Continued focus on areas like Science proficiency and chronic absenteeism could help the school further improve and support the success of its students.
