Summary

El Monte Middle is a public school serving about 844 students in grades 6-8 in Orosi, CA, operating within the Cutler-Orosi Joint Unified district.

The school shows notable strengths in supporting specific student groups, with its English Language Learners and Hispanic students performing above the state average, and it has made impressive progress in improving student attendance, now having a lower chronic absenteeism rate than the state. It achieves these outcomes while spending less per student than many nearby schools like Navelencia Middle and General Grant Middle. Compared to other local schools with similar student demographics, such as Parlier Junior High and Woodlake Valley Middle, El Monte Middle achieves higher academic rankings.

Areas for growth include mathematics and science proficiency, which are below state averages, and outcomes for students in special education. The school's overall performance, while consistent, trails that of some neighboring schools in the higher-ranked Kings Canyon Joint Unified district, like Citrus Middle. The school's effective practices with certain groups provide a strong foundation for addressing these academic challenges.
