Tropico Middle

Summary:

Tropico Middle is a public middle school located in Rosamond, California, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 782 students. The school is part of the Southern Kern Unified School District, which is ranked 1329 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tropico Middle faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.4% in 2017-2018 to 39.3% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science tests, is consistently below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 22.43% of Tropico Middle students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 28.21% in the Southern Kern Unified district and 47.04% statewide. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking in the middle range for African American and Hispanic students, but near the bottom for White and multi-racial students, as well as for English Language Learners, students with disabilities, and those from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing Tropico Middle to nearby middle schools in the Palmdale and Lancaster areas, such as Fulton and Alsbury Academy of Arts and Engineering, it becomes clear that Tropico Middle is underperforming significantly. These nearby schools have much higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates than Tropico Middle. Despite the challenges, Tropico Middle's performance indicates that there is room for improvement, and by addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance, implementing evidence-based strategies to improve attendance and academic achievement, and providing targeted support for struggling student groups, the school has the potential to significantly enhance the educational experiences and outcomes for its students.

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.
