Van Nuys Middle

Summary:

Van Nuys Middle is a public middle school located in Van Nuys, California, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 869 students. It is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 871 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Van Nuys Middle faces several key challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 12.7% in 2017-2018 to 29.9% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments, is consistently below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 37.17% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 43.06% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was even lower at 21.29%, compared to 32.83% for the district and 35.54% for the state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Walter Reed Middle and Louis Armstrong Middle (a public charter school) significantly outperforming Van Nuys Middle across various academic metrics.

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Van Nuys Middle, ranging from 91.33% to 92.51% over the past few years, suggests a high concentration of students from low-income families. This, coupled with the uneven performance across different student subgroups, indicates that socioeconomic factors and equity issues may be significant challenges for the school. Addressing these issues through data-driven, equity-focused initiatives could be crucial for improving the educational experiences and outcomes for the students at Van Nuys 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.

A parent on a FB group just asked me why we were so happy at VNMS. Here was my response.
I can't speak to the two other programs at VNMS, but here is what we like about the Steam magnet:
-Small class size
-Project based learning (learning about VEX coding by building/programing robots.
-Kid's wear uniforms so there's no bullying around what clothes students are wearing
-Caring teachers - have had no problems reaching any staff or administration
-Amazing field trips: Point Fermin camping trip, Disney Engineering program at California Adventure Park, Roundhouse Aquarium, USC game, Dodger's game, UCLA science fair, UCLA/Cal State Northridge/LA Valley college tours, Getty Villa, Hamilton, Aladdin and Wicked is upcoming. I'm probably forgetting a few.
-Magnet points that will go towards getting into the Magnet high school of our choice.
-Kids do community service hours-teaching kids to be civic minded
-The various lunch clubs
-Honors program
Most importantly, my son is eager to go to school each day and thriving there. IMHO, It really is a small, hidden gem of a program. Close Quote

This is the saddest school. Beginning from orientation in 6th grade till now, second semester of 8th grade. Unorganized unorganized and unorganized !! The staff is nice the education is subpar and I'm talking about the magnet I can only imagine the general population of the school. My son's love for learning has died Close Quote

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.
