Millennial Technical Middle

Summary:

Millennial Technical Middle is a public middle school in San Diego, California, serving 365 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the San Diego Unified School District, which is ranked 604 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Millennial Technical Middle faces significant challenges, particularly in terms of chronic absenteeism and academic performance. The school has experienced a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.5% in 2017-2018 to 40.7% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Academically, the school consistently underperforms compared to the San Diego Unified School District and the state of California in standardized assessments, with only 27.91% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy in 2023-2024, compared to 54.22% for the district and 47.04% for the state. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and English Language Learner students performing relatively better compared to other subgroups.

Millennial Technical Middle's challenges are more pronounced than those of nearby middle schools within the San Diego Unified School District, such as Bell Middle, Mann Middle, and Wilson Middle, which have higher academic proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 86.85% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to these challenges. Additionally, Millennial Technical Middle's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, indicating the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
