Middle Schools in Denair Unified

Denair Unified School District contains one middle school, Denair Middle, serving about 300 students in grades 6-8 in a community where a significant portion of students face economic disadvantages.

Denair Middle is showing impressive improvement, having jumped significantly in statewide rankings over the past year. While its test scores in English and math are below the California average, the school outperforms the Denair Unified district average in all core subjects, with science being a particular area of strength. A notable highlight is the 8th-grade Spanish Reading proficiency, which far exceeds both district and state averages.

Key challenges for the school include raising proficiency in core subjects to state levels and addressing a chronic absenteeism rate that is above the state average. The school's recent progress, achieved while serving a high-need population, indicates positive momentum. For families in the area, Denair Middle represents a school that is improving and leading academic performance within its local district context.
