Borrego Springs Middle

Summary:

Borrego Springs Middle is a small public middle school in Borrego Springs, California, serving around 80 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Borrego Springs Unified School District, which is ranked 1192 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Borrego Springs Middle consistently performs below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 20-30% of students meeting or exceeding proficiency standards. This low academic performance is also lower than the district average. In comparison, the nearby Julian Junior High School, which is part of the Julian Union Elementary School District, performs better in these subjects. Additionally, Borrego Springs Middle has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.1% to 36.4% in recent years, which is a concerning trend that can negatively impact student learning.

The school's performance is particularly low for female students, Hispanic students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom 20-25% of California middle schools for these subgroups. However, the school's performance for English Language Learner students is relatively better, ranking in the top 50% of California middle schools. Despite the school's overall low academic performance, Borrego Springs Middle has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which could be a potential advantage in implementing more personalized instructional strategies to improve student outcomes.

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.
