While Barbara Spratling Middle has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.4% in 2018-2019 to 27.1% in 2021-2022, the school consistently underperforms compared to the Keyes Union District and the state of California in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics.

In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was just 19.65%, compared to 28.34% for the district and 35.54% for the state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and English Language Learners performing relatively better, while male students and students with disabilities struggle, ranking in the bottom quartile of California middle schools.

When compared to nearby middle schools, Barbara Spratling Middle generally underperforms. For example, Emilie J. Ross Middle, which is only 3.73 miles away, outperforms Barbara Spratling Middle in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch eligibility at Barbara Spratling Middle may be contributing to the school's overall academic challenges, and addressing these underlying factors could be crucial in improving student performance and providing a more equitable education for all 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.
