Morada Middle

Summary:

Morada Middle is a public middle school located in Stockton, California, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 746 students. It is part of the Lodi Unified School District, which is ranked 951 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Morada Middle has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of California middle schools, with a ranking between 1,300-1,900 over the past several years and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Morada Middle faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and significant disparities in performance among different student subgroups. The school's chronic absenteeism rates have risen from 11.3% in 2018-2019 to 35.1% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Academically, Morada Middle's test scores are consistently below the district and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with only 35.51% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, 22.45% in math, and 18.16% in science. 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.

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.
