Summary:

Hilltop Middle is a public middle school in Chula Vista, California, serving 869 students in grades 7-8. The school faces several challenges, including low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Hilltop Middle's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is significantly below the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 37.65% of Hilltop Middle students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 49.93% for the Sweetwater Union High School District and 47.04% for the state of California. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was even lower at 18.96%, compared to 27.89% for the district and 35.54% for the state. Hilltop Middle's performance also lags behind nearby middle schools within the same district, such as Montgomery Middle, Rancho del Rey Middle, and Bonita Vista Middle.

Additionally, Hilltop Middle has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.2% in 2017-2018 to 20.6% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions to improve academic achievement, strategies to reduce chronic absenteeism, and support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

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.
