Summary:
Imperial Unified School District in Imperial, California, is served by one large middle school, Frank M. Wright Middle, which educates over 1,100 students in grades 6 through 8.
This school shows a clear strength in English Language Arts, where it consistently performs at or above both the Imperial Unified district and state averages, with its 7th graders particularly excelling. However, there is a notable opportunity for growth in Mathematics, where student proficiency lags behind these same benchmarks. The school maintains a stable "average" 3-star rating statewide and benefits from a chronic absenteeism rate that is significantly better than the California average, suggesting strong student engagement.
For parents, the key takeaway is a school with a solid foundation and specific academic strengths, especially in reading and writing. The lower absenteeism is a positive indicator of the school environment. The main area for improvement is mathematics achievement across all grades. The school's performance is very consistent with the wider district, indicating a unified educational approach throughout Imperial Unified.
