Pine Hollow Middle

Summary:

Pine Hollow Middle is a public middle school located in Concord, CA, serving 589 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Mt. Diablo Unified School District. While the school faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to nearby schools and high chronic absenteeism, it also shows some promising signs, particularly in the performance of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Academically, Pine Hollow Middle's performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST, is generally below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy ranged from 42.05% to 50%, compared to the district average of 43.13% to 45.71% and the state average of 45.82% to 47.19%. In Mathematics, the school's performance was even more concerning, with the percentage of students proficient or better ranging from 11.86% to 38.89%, significantly lower than the district (31.66% to 35.24%) and state (31.57% to 34.31%) averages. The school's performance in Science, as measured by CAST, is also below the district and state, with only 25.57% of students proficient or better compared to 29.89% for the district and 28.95% for the state.

However, Pine Hollow Middle's performance varies significantly across different student groups, with Asian and multi-racial students performing the lowest, ranking in the bottom 25% of California middle schools in these categories. In contrast, disabled students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform relatively better, ranking in the top 50% of California middle schools. This suggests that targeted interventions and support may be crucial for addressing the specific needs of underperforming subgroups and improving the school's overall academic outcomes. Additionally, the school's high rates of chronic absenteeism, which have risen from 8.7% in 2017-2018 to 23.2% in 2022-2023, may also be a contributing factor to its academic challenges and should be addressed through appropriate strategies.

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.
