James Workman Middle

Summary:

James Workman Middle is a public middle school in Cathedral City, California, serving 1,028 students in grades 6-8. The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, low test scores, and uneven performance across student subgroups.

James Workman Middle has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.1% in 2018-2019 to 29.0% in 2022-2023, notably higher than the state average of 17.7%. The school's test scores are generally below state and district averages, with proficiency rates of 39.36% in English Language Arts and 24.78% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%. While the school's Hispanic and English Language Learner students perform relatively better, the school struggles with its Special Education and Disabled student populations, ranking in the bottom quarter of the state. Additionally, the school has an extremely high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, over 98%, indicating a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to other middle schools in the Palm Springs Unified District and nearby districts, James Workman Middle generally performs below its peers. For instance, Painted Hills Middle and Desert Springs Middle, both in the Palm Springs Unified District, have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates than James Workman Middle. However, the school has been successful in supporting its homeless student population, who have consistently ranked in the top quartile of the state. Despite this positive indicator, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 1248 out of 2715 California middle schools in 2018-2019 to 1510 out of 2777 in 2023-2024, suggesting a concerning trend of declining academic performance.

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.

This school inspire my child to read and be better at technologies. All teachers in James Workman has something that not other teachers do. Instead of making school boring they take it to the next level. They turns the classes into an adventure. One teacher uses classcraft.com to turn boring into adventure Close Quote

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.
