Mesa Linda Middle

Summary:

Mesa Linda Middle is a public middle school located in Victorville, California, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 775 students. The school is part of the Adelanto Elementary School District, which is ranked 1439 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mesa Linda Middle faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.5% in 2018-2019 to 71.6% in 2020-2021, which is significantly higher than the state average and the surrounding schools. Academically, Mesa Linda Middle consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of California middle schools, with only 9.81% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 2.2% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively. The school also struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, with subgroup performance rankings in the bottom 10-40% of California middle schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Melva Davis Academy of Excellence and Columbia Middle, which are also part of the Adelanto Elementary School District, perform significantly better than Mesa Linda Middle on academic measures. Schools in the neighboring Hesperia Unified and Snowline Joint Unified districts, such as Ranchero Middle and Quail Valley Middle, also outperform Mesa Linda Middle, despite serving similar student populations. The high chronic absenteeism rates and the school's low ranking within the Adelanto Elementary School District suggest that systemic issues may be impacting the performance of Mesa Linda Middle.

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.
