Summary:
The Ocean Beach School District has only one middle school, Hilltop Elementary School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math significantly below the district and state averages. Despite higher-than-average spending per student, the school struggles to provide a high-quality education, potentially due to the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students it serves.
Hilltop Elementary School has a student enrollment of 236, with a racial makeup of 70.76% White and 19.92% Hispanic. The school's student-teacher ratio of 16.8 is slightly higher than the recommended level. While the school's spending per student is $17,643, which is higher than the state average, this investment does not appear to be translating into strong academic outcomes for the students.
The lack of comparative data from other middle schools in the district makes it difficult to fully assess the performance of Hilltop Elementary School. However, the available information suggests that the school faces significant challenges in supporting the academic success of its students, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The district may need to evaluate its resource allocation and implement targeted interventions to address these issues and improve educational outcomes for the middle school students in the Ocean Beach School District.
