Summary:
The Middletown Unified school district serves roughly 1,450 students across six public schools in California, including three elementary schools, one middle school, and two high schools, with performance that ranks near the middle compared to all districts in the state.
Among the district's schools, Coyote Valley Elementary stands out as a top performer, consistently exceeding state averages in English, math, and science, while Middletown High has shown remarkable improvement, now boasting a graduation rate over 95% and exceptional English scores. In contrast, Minnie Cannon Elementary faces significant academic challenges, particularly in math, and Middletown Middle has the district's lowest science proficiency, creating a concerning preparation gap for high school.
A critical issue across the entire district is chronic absenteeism, with an average rate of 30%—far above the state average—which likely impacts student learning. While high school English performance is strong district-wide, math scores lag behind state averages, highlighting an area for focused improvement. The small, alternative Loconoma Valley High has unique metrics, including very high absenteeism, that differ from the comprehensive schools.
