Summary

Lipman Middle serves 161 students in grades 6–8 in Brisbane, a small city in the northern San Francisco Bay Area. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were higher than the state and district rates in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. Most importantly, Lipman had the highest proficiency rates in all three subjects among nearby schools with results for that year.

Lipman’s clearest advantage over nearby schools was in math: it scored 65%, compared with 49% at the next-highest nearby school, a 16-point lead. Its ELA rate was 68%, 8 points above the next-highest school, and its science rate was 47%, just 1 point above the next highest. Lipman also exceeded state rates by 18 points in ELA, 26 in math, and 11 in science. Compared with Brisbane Elementary, its rates were 5 points higher in ELA, 2 in math, and 8 in science. The science lead over nearby schools was narrowest; the math lead was largest.

Results have improved over four years in ELA and math: ELA rose 8 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, and math rose 9 points. Science was nearly unchanged overall, down 1 point, despite falling to 29% in 2024–25 before rebounding to 47% the next year. Lipman Middle was ranked 323 of 2,703 schools by SchoolDigger in 2025–26, at the 88th percentile with 4 stars; Brisbane Elementary was ranked 167 of 968 districts, at the 83rd percentile with 4 stars. Lipman’s reported free/reduced lunch eligible share was 19% in 2024–25, the lowest among nearby schools with the same measure; this is context, not an explanation for results. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking was notably lower for Asian students, at the 36th percentile, and for Low Socio Economic Status Students, at the 54th percentile, compared with 88th overall. Lipman’s latest reported student-teacher ratio was 17.1 in 2023–24; because a 2024–25 figure is not reported, it cannot be fairly compared with nearby schools’ ratios for that year.
