Yolo Junior High

Summary:

Yolo Junior High is a public middle school located in Newman, California, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 696 students. The school is part of the Newman-Crows Landing Unified School District, which is ranked 1286 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Yolo Junior High consistently ranks in the bottom half of California middle schools, with a statewide ranking between 1782 and 2022 over the past several years. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 33.33% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 15.02% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively. The school also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 61.49% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, and has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 2.7% in 2017-2018 to 9.1% in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Barbara Spratling Middle, which outperforms Yolo Junior High across all subject areas and grade levels, and Turlock Junior High, which also demonstrates higher academic performance, Yolo Junior High faces significant challenges in improving its educational outcomes. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and providing targeted interventions and support for the school's economically disadvantaged student population could be crucial steps in improving the overall performance of Yolo Junior High.

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.
