Durham Intermediate

Summary:

Durham Intermediate is a public middle school located in Durham, California, serving 225 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Durham Unified School District, which is ranked 366 out of 1,568 districts in the state and rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Durham Intermediate has consistently strong academic performance, with 48.17% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) and 44.09% proficient or better in Mathematics for the 2023-2024 school year. These scores are higher than the state averages. Compared to nearby schools like Ishi Hills Middle and The Studios @ Central, Durham Intermediate outperforms them in both ELA and Mathematics. However, the school's Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have struggled, ranking lower in ELA proficiency compared to other California middle schools.

One area of concern for Durham Intermediate is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.8% in 2017-2018 to 21.9% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average. While this rate is lower than some nearby schools, it is still a challenge the school and Durham Unified School District will need to address. Additionally, 44% of Durham Intermediate students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, which can present both challenges and opportunities for the school.

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.
