Alpine Vista Middle

Summary:

Alpine Vista Middle is a public middle school located in Tulare, California, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 770 students. The school is part of the Tulare City School District, which is ranked 1258 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alpine Vista Middle faces several challenges, including lower statewide rankings, below-average test scores, and high chronic absenteeism rates. For the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 2104 out of 2777 California middle schools and received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance is generally lower than the nearby Mulcahy Middle, Los Tules Middle, and Cherry Avenue Middle schools in terms of statewide rankings and test scores. However, Alpine Vista Middle's performance is better than the Tulare City Community Day school, which serves a specialized student population.

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Alpine Vista Middle, at 54.29% in the 2022-2023 school year, suggests that the school serves a population with relatively lower socioeconomic status, which may contribute to the lower academic performance. Additionally, the varying rankings for different student groups, with male and Hispanic students performing better than female and white students, indicate potential achievement gaps that may require targeted interventions. The low ranking of English Language Learner (ELL) students, with a 0-star rating in the 2023-2024 school year, is particularly concerning and suggests a need for more focused support and resources for this student population.

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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
