Midway Elementary

Public Grades K-8

Summary

Midway Elementary is a public elementary school located in Fellows, California, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 85 students. The school has seen a gradual increase in its Hispanic student population, rising from 19.44% in 2020-2021 to 15.29% in the current 2022-2023 school year.

Midway Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, with proficiency rates of 52.08% in ELA and 54.17% in Math in 2022-2023, compared to the state averages of 46.66% and 34.62%, respectively. However, the school's science proficiency rates, as measured by the CAST assessment, are lower than the state average, with 19.05% proficiency in end-of-course and 27.27% in 8th grade. Midway Elementary also faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 8.0% in 2017-2018 to 23.3% in the current 2022-2023 school year, notably higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Midway Elementary outperforms Cuyama Elementary and Buttonwillow Elementary in both ELA and Math proficiency rates. However, Midway's science proficiency rates are lower than the state average and the nearby McKittrick Elementary, which had a 25% proficiency rate in 2022-2023. Additionally, Midway Elementary serves a more economically disadvantaged student population, with a higher percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch (55.29%) compared to the nearby Elk Hills Elementary (77.91%), which may contribute to the school's challenges with chronic absenteeism and lower science proficiency.
