Berrendos Middle

Summary:

Berrendos Middle is a public middle school located in Red Bluff, California, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 251. It is part of the Antelope Elementary School District, which is ranked 694 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Berrendos Middle generally performs better than the Antelope Elementary District and the state of California in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, from 8.6% in 2017-2018 to 25.8% in 2021-2022. The performance of different student subgroups also varies, with female and Hispanic students outperforming their male and White counterparts, while Special Education and Disabled students have the lowest performance. Berrendos Middle outperforms the nearby Lassen-Antelope Volcanic Academy (LAVA) in both ELA and Mathematics, but lags behind other nearby schools like West Cottonwood Junior High and Evergreen Middle, which have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates.

Berrendos Middle's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, with a notable decline from 410 out of 2,497 California middle schools in 2015-2016 to 1,210 out of 2,740 in 2021-2022. This trend warrants further investigation to identify the underlying factors contributing to the school's performance. Addressing the challenges of increasing chronic absenteeism and disparities in student subgroup performance, while learning from the successes of nearby high-performing schools, could help Berrendos Middle improve its overall academic outcomes and provide a more equitable education for all its students.

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.
