Ethan A Chase Middle

Summary:

Ethan A Chase Middle is a public middle school located in Menifee, California, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,368 students. The school is part of the Romoland Elementary District, which is ranked 1061 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ethan A Chase Middle faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 11.0% in 2018-2019 to 35.7% in 2021-2022, well above the state average of 20.4%. The school also consistently underperforms compared to the state and its local district in standardized assessments, with only 33.51% of students proficient or better in ELA/Literacy in 2023-2024, compared to 37.25% in Romoland Elementary and 47.04% statewide. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Homeless students performing relatively well, but Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students struggling.

Interestingly, Ethan A Chase Middle is located in close proximity to several other middle schools, such as Dorothy McElhinney Middle, Canyon Lake Middle, and Menifee Valley Middle, which consistently outperform it on academic measures. This suggests that the challenges faced by Ethan A Chase Middle may be unique to the school or district, rather than simply a reflection of the broader regional context. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and equity concerns could be key levers for improving the school's overall performance.

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.
