Del Vallejo Middle

Summary:

Del Vallejo Middle is a public middle school in San Bernardino, California, serving 598 students in grades 6-8. The school faces significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and a student population that is predominantly from low-income backgrounds.

Del Vallejo Middle has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 18.8% in 2017-2018 to 41.9% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. The school also consistently underperforms the San Bernardino City Unified district and California state averages on standardized tests, with only 16.99% of students proficient or better in ELA/Literacy End of Course in 2023-2024, compared to 33.42% for the district and 47.04% for the state. Additionally, 93.81% of Del Vallejo Middle's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Colonel Joseph C. Rodriguez PREP Academy, which is just 1.02 miles away, the disparities in academic performance become even more apparent. In 2023-2024, 79.2% of students at Colonel Joseph C. Rodriguez PREP Academy were proficient or better in ELA/Literacy End of Course, compared to only 16.99% at Del Vallejo Middle. The school's struggles are particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, who perform in the bottom 25% of California middle schools.

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.
