New Vision Middle

Summary:

New Vision Middle is a public charter middle school serving grades 6-8 in Highland, CA, with 363 students. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of California middle schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating in the most recent school year.

New Vision Middle faces significant challenges in supporting the academic achievement of its students. The school significantly underperforms the state average on standardized tests across all subjects and grade levels, with only 24.41% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and just 9.14% proficient in math, compared to state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom 25% of California middle schools for female, male, Hispanic, and low-socioeconomic status students. Additionally, New Vision Middle has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 45.0%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Richardson PREP High Middle and Clement Middle, New Vision Middle is significantly underperforming. For example, Richardson PREP High Middle had an 85.06% proficiency rate in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to just 24.41% at New Vision Middle. While New Vision Middle shows some relative strengths in supporting its homeless and special education populations, the school has substantial room for improvement to better serve its students and community.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
