Summary

Parras (Nick G.) Middle is a well-regarded public school serving about 1,030 students in grades 6-8 in the Redondo Beach Unified school district, consistently performing in the top 10% of California middle schools.

While Parras remains a strong school, its statewide ranking has dipped slightly in recent years, a trend also seen at its district sibling, Adams Middle. It is noteworthy for operating efficiently with a higher student-teacher ratio than many nearby schools while maintaining solid academic results. For example, it spends significantly less per student than Jane Addams Middle but achieves higher proficiency rates. However, it trails the very top performers in the area like Manhattan Beach Middle and has a higher rate of chronic student absences than several neighboring schools such as Bert M. Lynn Middle.

An interesting pattern at Parras is that student proficiency in English and Math tends to decrease from 6th to 8th grade, a decline more pronounced than at Adams Middle. The school shows exceptional success with some student subgroups, ranking among the very best in the state for its African American students. Overall, Parras Middle represents a balance of resource efficiency and good academic performance in a competitive coastal district.
