Summary:
The city of Los Nietos, California is home to a single middle school, Los Nietos Middle, which serves grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 258 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic enrollment (96.12%) and a relatively high percentage of students (75.97%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a low-income student population.
Academically, Los Nietos Middle's performance is mixed. While the school outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA), with 7th and 8th graders scoring 53.54% and 56.3% proficient or better, respectively, its Mathematics and Science scores are below the state averages. In Mathematics, 7th and 8th graders scored 28.35% and 33.61% proficient or better, and in Science (CAST), 8th graders scored 26.89% proficient or better. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.5% may be contributing to these academic challenges.
Addressing the school's areas of concern, such as improving math and science instruction, tackling chronic absenteeism, and supporting the needs of its predominantly low-income student population, could be crucial for Los Nietos Middle School to enhance its overall academic performance and ensure the success of its students.
