Summary:

Joe Walker Middle is a public middle school located in Lancaster, California, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 736 students. It is part of the Westside Union Elementary School District, which is ranked 804 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Joe Walker Middle faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, lower-than-average test scores, and uneven performance across different student subgroups. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has risen significantly, from 8.4% in 2017-2018 to 34.9% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. In terms of academic performance, Joe Walker Middle's test scores in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's ELA proficiency rate for the end-of-course exam was 42.48%, compared to 44.95% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, the end-of-course proficiency rate was 23.79%, compared to 31.25% for the district and 35.54% for the state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the African American students ranking 300 out of 626 California middle schools, while the multi-racial students ranked 602 out of 699 schools.

When compared to other nearby middle schools, such as Hillview Middle, which is in the same district, Joe Walker Middle generally performs below the district and state averages in both ELA and Mathematics. However, the school's homeless student population has performed relatively well, ranking 117 out of 394 California middle schools in 2023-2024 for this subgroup, with a 4-star rating. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Joe Walker Middle, reaching 59.51% in 2022-2023, suggests that the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the lower academic performance observed.

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.
