Menifee Valley Middle consistently ranks in the top 50% of California middle schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments is generally on par with or slightly above the Menifee Union district and California state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. However, the school lags behind the district and state in mathematics proficiency, especially in 6th and 7th grades. Menifee Valley Middle has also seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.4% in 2017-2018 to 27.6% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby schools.

While Menifee Valley Middle performs relatively well for its Hispanic and African American student subgroups, the school struggles with its White and Multi-racial student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 50% of California middle schools. The school's English Language Learner and Military Connected student subgroups also perform below average compared to other California middle schools. Addressing these performance disparities and the high chronic absenteeism could help Menifee Valley Middle improve its overall academic outcomes and better serve its diverse student population.

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.
