Summary:
In zip code 92251, which serves the Imperial, CA area, there is one public middle school, Frank M. Wright Middle, serving grades 6-8 with an enrollment of over 1,100 students.
This school shows notable strengths, particularly in English Language Arts, where student proficiency exceeds the California state average, and in maintaining a chronic absenteeism rate that is significantly lower than both the Imperial Unified district and state averages. Its performance has been stable, consistently ranking in the 63rd to 66th percentile among all California schools over the past three years. However, mathematics performance is an area for growth, as it falls below the state average and shows a decline in proficiency from 6th to 8th grade.
For parents, Frank M. Wright Middle represents a large, consistent school with a strong culture of attendance and clear success in English instruction. The school serves a diverse student population where over half qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and it operates with a student-teacher ratio higher than the ideal for middle school. The standout 7th grade ELA scores suggest particularly effective teaching at that grade level, while the math scores indicate a potential focus for additional support and resources.
