Summary:

This analysis examines two middle schools, Ridgeview Middle and Green Acres Middle, serving grades 7-8 and 6-8 respectively in Visalia, California (zip code 93291), both part of the Visalia Unified School District.

Overall, Ridgeview Middle shows stronger and more consistent academic performance, ranking higher in the state and outperforming Green Acres Middle in English, math, and science proficiency for the 2024-2025 school year. However, Green Acres Middle has strengths in specific areas, including a slightly lower student-teacher ratio and a notably lower rate of chronic student absenteeism. Both schools perform better than the Visalia Unified district average in most subjects.

A key finding is a significant drop in math scores from 7th to 8th grade at both schools, which may indicate a common instructional challenge. While Green Acres Middle spends more per student, it achieves lower test scores, suggesting differences in how resources are used. Both schools have room for improvement in science, as they perform at or below the state average.
