Monte Vista Middle

Summary:

Monte Vista Middle is a public middle school located in San Jacinto, California, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 913 students. The school is part of the San Jacinto Unified School District, which is ranked 1253 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Monte Vista Middle faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes, particularly in addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates, which range from 35.2% to 46.0% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like North Mountain Middle (41.8%) and Dartmouth Middle (34.9%). The school's academic performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST, is also significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 18.43% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and just 7.6% proficient in Mathematics, compared to 28.92% and 15.23% in the district, respectively.

While Monte Vista Middle struggles academically, some nearby schools within the same district, such as North Mountain Middle, perform slightly better but still lag behind state averages. Schools in the neighboring Beaumont Unified and Romoland Elementary districts, such as San Gorgonio Middle and Ethan A Chase Middle, generally outperform Monte Vista Middle and the San Jacinto Unified School District as a whole. The high chronic absenteeism rates at Monte Vista Middle appear to be closely linked to its poor academic performance, as schools with lower chronic absenteeism tend to have higher proficiency rates.

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.
