Norman N. Glick Middle

Summary:

Norman N. Glick Middle is a public middle school in Modesto, California, serving 624 students in grades 7-8. The school faces several key challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, low academic performance, and significant socioeconomic disadvantages among its student population.

Norman N. Glick Middle has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.2% in 2020-2021 to 51.8% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Evelyn Hanshaw Middle (30.7%), Somerset Middle (27.4%), and Emilie J. Ross Middle (17.8%). The school's test scores are also generally lower than the state and nearby school averages, with proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics around 30-40% and 8-18%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 45-47% and 31-36%.

The high percentage of students (over 75%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Norman N. Glick Middle, coupled with the school's low performance, suggests that it faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student outcomes. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing relatively well but White and Multi-racial students ranking in the bottom 20-30% of California middle schools. Addressing these issues will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions, increased resources, and a focus on equity and inclusion to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
