Middle Schools in Bishop Unified

The Bishop Unified school district has only one middle school, Home Street Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. Located in the Bishop area, Home Street Middle faces some academic challenges, with proficiency rates in math and science below the state averages, and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.6%.

Academically, Home Street Middle's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are generally on par with or slightly below the state averages, ranging from 35.04% in 6th grade to 47.97% in 7th grade, compared to the state average of 44.16% to 47.44%. However, the school's math proficiency rates, ranging from 28.03% in 8th grade to 46.34% in 7th grade, are notably lower than the state averages of 29.94% to 33.19%. The school's science proficiency rate of 24.22% is also significantly below the state average of 28.76%.

With nearly half of its students (45.45%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Home Street Middle likely serves a relatively disadvantaged community, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic and attendance challenges. The school's overall ranking of 1195 out of 2788 California middle schools, with a 3-star rating, suggests it is performing at or slightly below average compared to other middle schools in the state. Addressing the issues of low math and science proficiency, as well as the high chronic absenteeism rate, could be important areas of focus for the school and district to improve student outcomes.
