Summary:

The Lowell Joint School District is served by one middle school, Rancho-Starbuck Intermediate, which consistently earns high marks for grades 7-8.

Rancho-Starbuck Intermediate is a standout for its stability and strong performance, maintaining a 4-star rating for several years in a row. It excels particularly in English Language Arts, where 8th graders perform far above the state average. The school also has a remarkably low rate of chronic absenteeism, which is less than half the state average and supports better learning outcomes for all students.

While the school performs well above state averages in all subjects, there is an opportunity to further strengthen mathematics and science scores to match its exceptional ELA results. With over half of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's overall strong academic achievement is commendable. For families in the Lowell Joint area, this school provides a consistently high-quality and supportive middle school environment.
