Summary:
Zip code 93930 in King City, California, contains one public middle school, Chalone Peaks Middle, which serves grades 6 through 8 for the local King City Union school district.
This school serves a large student body of 854 children, with a very high percentage qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic need in the community. Academically, the school faces considerable challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science all falling well below state averages; mathematics is a particular area of concern, with only about 14% of students proficient. However, the school does show a relative strength in student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate notably lower than both the district and state averages.
Performance trends show that student achievement tends to peak in 7th grade before declining in 8th grade, a pattern that may warrant additional support for older students. While the school's statewide ranking has been consistently low, it has shown slight improvement in recent years. With substantial per-student funding, there is a foundation of resources available to address these academic challenges and build upon the school's success in keeping students engaged and attending class.
