Summary:
In zip code 95461, there is one public middle school, Middletown Middle, serving grades 6-8 for the Middletown Unified district.
This school shows a mix of strengths and challenges for parents to consider. A notable strength is its 7th grade English Language Arts performance, where students score above the state average. However, the school faces significant difficulties in science, with proficiency rates far below state and district averages, and in mathematics, where all grades perform below state benchmarks. The school's statewide ranking has also been inconsistent over the past few years.
A critical area for improvement is student attendance, as the chronic absenteeism rate is substantially higher than the state average, which is closely linked to academic outcomes. With over half of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's context is important. While per-student spending is relatively robust, the student-teacher ratio is higher than ideal, suggesting that resources are a consideration for families evaluating this school's environment and support systems.
