Middle Schools in Soledad Unified

Soledad Unified School District has one middle school, Main Street Middle, serving about 750 students in grades 7 and 8 in the Soledad Unified area.

For parents considering Main Street Middle, it's important to know the school serves a community with high economic need, and while academic performance is below state averages, it has some relative strengths. The school performs closest to state standards in science and has a chronic absenteeism rate that is better than the district and nearly matches the state, which is a positive sign for student engagement. However, mathematics scores are notably low, and the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years.

Despite higher-than-average per-student spending, academic results in English and math lag behind both the Soledad Unified district and California. The school outperforms its own district in science, suggesting effective instruction in that subject. Parents may want to inquire about targeted math support and how the school is working to improve its statewide standing while building on its successes in science and maintaining student attendance.
