Gavilan View Middle

Summary:

Gavilan View Middle is a public middle school in Salinas, California, serving 587 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Santa Rita Union Elementary School District, which is ranked 1402 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gavilan View Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of California middle schools over the past 10 years, maintaining a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school struggles across various student subgroups, with its rankings for female, male, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students all in the bottom quartile of California middle schools. Gavilan View's performance for English Language Learners and students with disabilities is particularly concerning, ranking in the bottom 20-30% of schools. The school has also experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 5.2% to 29.0% over the past 5 years, significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Seaside Middle and John Gutierrez Middle, which are within a 12-mile radius, Gavilan View Middle has lower proficiency rates and rankings. This may be due in part to the school's high percentage of students from low-income families, with 70.87% to 78.14% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past 3 years. Additionally, Gavilan View Middle has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 20.8 to 23.8 over the past 3 years, which could make it more difficult for teachers to provide individualized attention and support.

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.
