Summary

Greenfield Middle is a public middle school in Bakersfield, CA, serving 884 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Greenfield Union District, which is ranked 960 out of 1,565 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Greenfield Middle has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of California middle schools over the past 10 years, with a ranking between 1,321 and 1,853 out of around 2,500 schools.

Greenfield Middle consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in standardized assessments, with only 39.71% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and just 20.56% proficient in Mathematics, far below the district and state averages. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 24.9% over the past few years. Additionally, certain student subgroups, such as White students and students with disabilities, perform particularly poorly at Greenfield Middle, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of California middle schools in those categories.

While Greenfield Middle performs worse than other middle schools in the Greenfield Union District, such as McKee Middle and Leon H. Ollivier Middle, it still outperforms many middle schools in the neighboring Bakersfield City School District, which have even lower test scores and rankings. Despite relatively high per-student spending and a student-teacher ratio in line with the state average, Greenfield Middle continues to struggle academically, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the school's underperformance.
