Public Grades

Summary

Foothill Middle is a public middle school in Azusa, California, serving 285 students in grades 7-8. The school faces several key challenges, including a high concentration of Hispanic and low-income students, consistently low academic performance, and a recent spike in chronic absenteeism.

Foothill Middle has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (over 91%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse racial compositions. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST scores, is generally lower than the state and Azusa Unified School District averages, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2022-2023, only 16.67% of Foothill Middle students were proficient or better in Smarter Balanced Assessments/Mathematics for End of Course, compared to 22.1% for the Azusa Unified School District and 34.62% for the state of California. Additionally, Foothill Middle has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 2.3% in 2020-2021 to 40.5% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the nearby schools.

Foothill Middle's academic performance and other key metrics are generally lower than the nearby schools, such as Slauson Intermediate and Lone Hill Middle, which are in the same district or a neighboring district and have higher rankings and better academic outcomes. Addressing the challenges at Foothill Middle, including the high concentration of Hispanic and low-income students, consistently low academic performance, and the recent spike in chronic absenteeism, will be crucial for improving the educational opportunities for the students at this school.

Saturday, January 22, 2011

Most students at this school are disrespectful. They are not ready to learn, they all use disrespectful language , and most teachers don't know how to control this. Most teachers at this school are prepared and full of discipline, but yet there is a couple teachers at this school who just have there class out of control all the time. Close Quote
