Summary:

Technology Middle is a public middle school located in Rohnert Park, California, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 426 students. The school is part of the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District, which is ranked 907 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Technology Middle consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of California middle schools, with rankings between 1,799 and 2,584 out of around 2,500 schools over the past 8 years. The school's performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 23.85% of Technology Middle students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 40.21% for the district and 47.04% statewide. In Math, the school's proficiency rate was just 6.14%, compared to 24.68% for the district and 35.54% statewide. The school also struggles to serve its diverse student population effectively, with low rankings for subgroups like female, male, Hispanic, and white students.

Within the same district, Lawrence E. Jones Middle School outperforms Technology Middle across all academic metrics, ranking in the top half of California middle schools. Nearby schools in other districts, such as Petaluma Junior High and Kenilworth Junior High, also significantly outperform Technology Middle in academic achievement. The stark contrast in performance between Technology Middle and these nearby schools suggests that the issues at Technology Middle are not solely due to district-level factors, but rather specific to the school itself.

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.
