When comparing Henry Middle to other nearby schools, such as Burbank Middle, a public magnet school in the same district, it becomes evident that Henry Middle is underperforming across multiple academic metrics. This underperformance is likely exacerbated by the school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite these challenges, Henry Middle's proximity to other higher-performing schools, such as KIPP 3d Academy, presents opportunities for collaboration, resource-sharing, and learning from successful practices to improve student outcomes.
