Aptos Junior High

Summary:

Aptos Junior High is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Pajaro Valley Unified School District, with a student population of 594 located in Aptos, California. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, it continues to outperform the district and state in academic performance, particularly for White and English Language Learner students.

Aptos Junior High's academic performance is a key strength, with 44.62% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 35.56% proficient in Mathematics, compared to the district and state averages. However, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate, which has increased from 10.4% in 2017-2018 to 33.7% in the 2022-2023 school year. Additionally, the school's performance for Hispanic and Low Socioeconomic Status students is relatively weaker, ranking lower among California middle schools in these subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools, Aptos Junior High outperforms other middle schools in the Pajaro Valley Unified School District, such as Pajaro Middle and E.A. Hall Middle. However, it lags behind higher-performing schools in neighboring districts, such as Scotts Valley Middle and Mission Hill Middle. Addressing the needs of its diverse student population, particularly its Hispanic and low-income students, will be crucial for Aptos Junior High to improve its overall performance and ranking.

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.
