Andrew N. Christensen Middle has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 10 years, ranking in the top 20-25% of California middle schools. The school outperforms the district and state in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels.

While Andrew N. Christensen Middle performs on par with or slightly better than the other middle schools in the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District, it lags behind the high-performing middle schools in the neighboring Pleasanton Unified and San Ramon Valley Unified districts in both academic achievement and student group performance. This may be due to the school's higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and its relatively high student-teacher ratio compared to the nearby high-performing schools.

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.
