Summary

Bohannon Middle is a public school serving about 600 students in grades 6-8 within the San Lorenzo Unified district, operating in a community with significant economic need where nearly three-quarters of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school shows a mixed picture: it has improved from a 1-star to a 2-star state rating and performs better in English than the district average, but it faces serious challenges in math and science, where scores are below both district and state levels. Notably, student attendance has recently improved, and the school shows relative strengths in supporting English learners and students in special education. However, a striking comparison is with the nearby charter school, KIPP Summit Academy, which serves a similar student population but achieves dramatically higher test scores and much lower absenteeism, despite being just over a mile away.

Within its own San Lorenzo Unified district, Bohannon Middle sits in the middle, performing better than Edendale Middle but not as well as Washington Manor Middle. The school spends more per student than several neighboring schools, raising questions about how resources are used to drive academic results. The wide variation in outcomes among local schools with similar demographics highlights that factors within a school's control, such as teaching methods and school culture, can lead to very different results for students.
