Summary

Berrendos Middle is a public school serving 229 students in grades 6-8 in Red Bluff, California, and is part of the Antelope Elementary district, offering a consistent educational environment with a student-teacher ratio of about 19 to 1.

Academically, Berrendos stands out in the area, with its students outperforming both the district and state averages in mathematics and showing strong proficiency in English Language Arts, especially by the 8th grade. This performance is notably better than several nearby middle schools, including Maywood Middle and Vista Preparatory Academy. The school has also made exceptional progress in improving student attendance, reducing chronic absenteeism to a rate far below the state average. However, an area for growth is science, where scores currently lag behind those of neighboring schools like Evergreen Middle.

The school demonstrates effective use of resources, achieving these solid results with a lower per-student spending figure than some comparable schools. It shows particular strength in supporting students with special education needs and has maintained stable academic performance even as the economic needs of its student population have fluctuated. While there is a performance gap between female and male students that the school is likely addressing, Berrendos provides a consistently reliable and improving educational option for families in the region.
