Alpha Technology Middle

Summary:

Alpha Technology Middle is a public middle school located in Elverta, CA, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 81 students. The school is part of the Elverta Joint Elementary School District, which is ranked 1133 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alpha Technology Middle faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. In 2022-2023, the school had a 25.9% chronic absenteeism rate, which is much higher than the state average of 19.7% for Antelope Crossing Middle and 13.7% for Barbara Chilton Middle. Academically, the school consistently underperforms compared to the state and nearby schools, with only 34.29% and 14.29% of students meeting or exceeding standards in English Language Arts and Mathematics, respectively, in 2023-2024.

The school's high percentage of low-income students, with 75.31% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, may be a contributing factor to its academic underperformance and high chronic absenteeism rates. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Antelope Crossing Middle (45.14%) and Barbara Chilton Middle (41.2%). The proximity of higher-performing schools in the area suggests that there may be opportunities for Alpha Technology Middle to learn from and collaborate with these institutions to identify best practices and strategies for improving 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.
