Morada Middle faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and significant disparities in performance among different student subgroups.

The performance of student subgroups, such as Asian, Hispanic, and White students, as well as students with disabilities, low socioeconomic status, and military connections, is significantly worse than their peers at the district and state levels.
Interestingly, Morada Middle's performance is generally lower than the other middle schools in the Lodi Unified district and the nearby schools in other districts, such as Millswood Middle, Lodi Middle, and Christa McAuliffe Middle, which all have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and the school's low socioeconomic status (84.45% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) may be contributing factors to the overall academic underperformance at Morada Middle.
