Summary:
Zip code 95110 contains one middle school, Downtown College Preparatory Middle, serving grades 5 through 8 with 231 students in a high-need community.
This charter school, part of the Downtown College Preparatory Middle District, faces significant academic challenges, with student proficiency in English, math, and science well below state averages. Despite a high level of investment, spending over $27,000 per student, the school's statewide ranking has fallen to the 5th percentile. Factors like a chronic absenteeism rate above the state average and a high student-teacher ratio of 26-to-1 are notable challenges that can impact learning environments.
For parents, it's important to note the school serves a population with high economic need and its district is ranked in the bottom 2nd percentile statewide. While the substantial per-student funding indicates significant resources, the current academic results and declining rank suggest families should seek detailed information on the school's specific improvement plans, particularly regarding student support and attendance initiatives.
