High Desert

Summary:

High Desert is a public middle school located in Acton, CA, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 306 students. Over the past several years, this school has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from a high of 793 out of 2,715 California middle schools in 2018-2019 to a ranking of 1,958 out of 2,777 in the most recent 2023-2024 school year. Its overall SchoolDigger star rating has also decreased from 4 stars to 1 star during this time period.

High Desert's performance is concerning across several key metrics. The school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.8% in 2017-2018 to 45.4% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is notably higher than the state average. Academically, High Desert's students consistently score below the state and district averages on Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science tests, with only 29.47% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and just 13.68% proficient in Mathematics in 2023-2024. The school's performance on key subgroups, including Hispanic, White, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, is also in the bottom 20-25% of California middle schools.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Keppel Academy, High Desert generally performs worse across a range of metrics, including test scores, chronic absenteeism, and free/reduced lunch rates. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the increasing student-teacher ratio at High Desert may be contributing factors to the school's declining performance. However, the data suggests that there is room for improvement, and by implementing targeted interventions, addressing chronic absenteeism, and providing additional support for underperforming subgroups, the school may be able to reverse the negative trends and better serve its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
