Summary:

Endeavour Middle is a public middle school located in Lancaster, California, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 779 students. The school is part of the Lancaster Elementary School District, which is ranked 1436 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Endeavour Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of California middle schools over the past several years, with a current ranking of 2585 out of 2777 middle schools in the state.

Endeavour Middle has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 45.3% in the 2021-2022 school year, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Fulton and Alsbury Academy (15.6%) and Hillview Middle (19.8%). The school's academic performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science tests, is consistently well below the state and local averages, with only 18.81% of Endeavour Middle students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 22.8% in the Lancaster Elementary district and 47.04% statewide. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was just 6.64%, compared to 13.7% in the district and 35.54% statewide.

The data also reveals a stark contrast between the performance of Endeavour Middle and some of the nearby schools, such as Fulton and Alsbury Academy and Hillview Middle, which significantly outperform Endeavour Middle across a range of academic metrics. Additionally, the consistently low performance of certain student subgroups, such as White, Hispanic, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, raises concerns about equity and the school's ability to provide equitable educational opportunities for all students. Addressing the school's chronic absenteeism, improving academic performance, and ensuring equitable opportunities for all students should be top priorities for the school and district leadership.

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.
