Summary:
Valle Lindo Elementary District has one middle school, Dean L. Shively, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating out of 5 on the School Digger scale over the past three years, placing it in the middle to lower-middle range among California middle schools.
Academically, Dean L. Shively has performed on par with or slightly below the district and state averages in English Language Arts, while its math and science proficiency rates are more mixed, with 8th-grade math being a particular area of concern. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% is relatively high, which may contribute to some of the academic challenges.
With a student-teacher ratio of 21.7, slightly higher than the recommended range, and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (67.88%), Dean L. Shively serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may be a factor in its academic performance. The school's consistent 3-star rating and middle-to-lower-middle statewide ranking suggest room for improvement, particularly in the areas of math and science proficiency.
