La Quinta Middle

Summary:

La Quinta Middle is a public middle school in La Quinta, CA, serving 754 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Desert Sands Unified School District. The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, low test scores, and uneven performance across student subgroups.

La Quinta Middle's test scores are generally below the district and state averages, with only 34.2% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and just 20.26% proficient in Mathematics. The school's performance varies greatly by student subgroup, with White students and English Language Learners struggling the most. In contrast, the nearby Palm Desert Charter Middle School significantly outperforms La Quinta Middle across all subject areas and grade levels.

The school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 37.6% to 41.3%, are also a major concern. Additionally, La Quinta Middle has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its academic challenges. While the school's struggles are not unique to the region, the stark contrast with the high-performing Palm Desert Charter Middle suggests that targeted interventions and resource allocation could help improve outcomes for La Quinta Middle 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.
