Summary

Los Tules Middle is a public school serving about 570 students in grades 6-8 in Tulare, part of the Tulare City school district, which faces significant academic challenges across the region.

The school presents a mixed academic picture with a notable strength in English Language Arts (ELA), where it outperforms the district average and is competitive with some nearby schools like Green Acres Middle. However, math scores are a serious concern, falling well below both state and district averages. A significant bright spot is the school's exceptional support for English Language Learners, where it ranks in the top third of schools statewide, and for students experiencing homelessness. Unfortunately, the school struggles profoundly to support students in Special Education.

Compared to other middle schools in the Tulare City district, Los Tules sits in the middle, performing better than Cherry Avenue Middle and Mulcahy Middle but behind higher-performing schools like Live Oak Middle. The school has shown positive signs of improvement and recovery since the pandemic, including a substantial reduction in chronic student absences, which are now lower than the state average.
