Summary:
Esparto Unified School District has only one middle school, Esparto Middle, which serves grades 6-8. Located in the small town of Esparto, California, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Esparto Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California middle schools, with below-average performance on standardized tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's proficiency rates in these subjects are well below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges.
Another area of concern is the school's chronic absenteeism rate, which was 23.5% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state average. This high rate of chronic absenteeism can have a significant impact on student learning and academic outcomes. To address these issues, the Esparto Unified School District will need to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student performance, attendance, and overall school quality.
