Summary:
The Thermalito Union Elementary district in California is home to two middle schools: Nelson Avenue Middle and Heritage Community Day. While both serve middle school grades, the data reveals stark differences in their academic performance and other key metrics.
Nelson Avenue Middle appears to be the stronger performing school, with a higher statewide ranking, better test scores, and a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to Heritage Community Day. In contrast, Heritage Community Day stands out with an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 75% and 0% proficiency in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
The data highlights the need for the Thermalito Union Elementary district to closely examine the disparities between these two middle schools and implement targeted interventions to support the struggling Heritage Community Day school. Understanding the specific challenges facing this school, such as student demographics or funding, could help inform strategies to improve academic outcomes and attendance.
