Summary:

Shandin Hills Middle is a public middle school located in San Bernardino, California, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 751. It is part of the San Bernardino City Unified School District, which is ranked 1221 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Shandin Hills Middle faces significant challenges, particularly in terms of student attendance and academic performance. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.6% to 41.9% in recent years, which is much higher than the state and district averages. Academically, Shandin Hills Middle consistently performs below the district and state averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, as well as in the California Science Assessment (CAST). For example, in 2023-2024, only 19.45% of Shandin Hills Middle students were proficient or better in ELA/Literacy, compared to 33.42% in the district and 47.04% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and 6th-grade students.

Compared to nearby schools within the San Bernardino City Unified School District, such as Curtis Middle, Colonel Joseph C. Rodriguez PREP Academy, and Cesar E. Chavez Middle, Shandin Hills Middle's performance is generally lower, with these schools tending to have higher academic achievement, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better overall ratings from SchoolDigger. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Shandin Hills Middle, ranging from 79.37% to 91.87%, suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the challenges it faces.

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.
