McKinley Institute of Technology

Summary:

McKinley Institute of Technology is a public middle school located in Redwood City, California, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 331 students. The school is part of the Redwood City Elementary School District, which is ranked 875 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

McKinley Institute of Technology consistently ranks in the bottom half of California middle schools, with a ranking between 1,903 and 2,718 out of around 2,700-2,800 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST (California Science Test) is significantly lower than the Redwood City Elementary district average and the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 20.19% of McKinley students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 45.22% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, only 6.85% of McKinley students were proficient or better, compared to 37.17% for the district and 35.54% for the state. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, with lower rankings compared to other California middle schools.

Interestingly, nearby schools like John F. Kennedy Middle, another Redwood City Elementary District school, outperform McKinley Institute of Technology across various academic metrics. Additionally, North Star Academy, a public charter school located right next to McKinley Institute of Technology, is a standout performer, ranking among the top 3-6 middle schools in California and significantly outpacing the district and state averages in academic achievement. The high percentage of low-socioeconomic status students at McKinley Institute of Technology, coupled with its lower academic performance, suggests that the school may face challenges in providing the necessary resources and support to help these students succeed.

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.
