Summary:

William G. Jehue Middle is a public middle school in Colton, California, serving 1,404 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Rialto Unified School District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California middle schools and maintains a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in academic performance and overall school quality.

William G. Jehue Middle's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male students, African American and Hispanic students generally performing better than female students and White students. However, English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds all perform below the school's overall ranking. Chronic absenteeism has also been a significant issue, increasing from 5.7% in 2017-2018 to 27.0% in the most recent school year. Academically, the school consistently scores below the Rialto Unified School District and the state of California averages in English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science.

Other nearby schools, such as Warren F. Frisbie Middle and Rialto Middle, also face challenges with high chronic absenteeism and below-average academic performance. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, over 80%, likely contributes to its overall academic struggles.

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.
