Summary:
Weaver Union School District in Merced, California, has one middle school, Weaver Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 with an enrollment of over 1,000 students.
As the only middle school in the Weaver Union district, Weaver Middle's performance can be compared to district and state averages. The school's academic results have been consistently below state averages in English, math, and science over recent years, though it performs slightly better than the district average in science. A notable pattern is that student proficiency in English tends to peak in 7th grade and then decline in 8th grade.
The school faces significant challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate higher than both the district and state averages, which is a key area for potential improvement. It serves a student population where over 93% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite per-student spending that is above the state average, academic outcomes remain below average, indicating that resource allocation and the high student-to-teacher ratio are important factors for families and the district to consider.
