Greenfield Middle

Summary:

Greenfield Middle is a public middle school in Bakersfield, California, serving 901 students in grades 6-8. The school faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average test scores, and significant performance gaps among student subgroups.

Greenfield Middle's chronic absenteeism rates have risen significantly, from 10.5% in 2017-2018 to 26.5% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state average of 14.2%. The school's proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics are consistently lower than the Greenfield Union district and the state of California averages. For example, in 2023-2024, Greenfield Middle's proficiency rate in Smarter Balanced Assessments/Mathematics for 8th grade was 19.46%, compared to the Greenfield Union district at 26.37% and the state of California at 31.57%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing better than other subgroups, while White students and students with disabilities perform the worst.

Interestingly, Greenfield Middle's performance is generally lower than the nearby McKee Middle and Leon H. Ollivier Middle schools within the same Greenfield Union district, as well as other nearby schools in the Panama-Buena Vista Union and Bakersfield City districts. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions to support underperforming student subgroups should be the school's and district's top priorities to improve student outcomes.

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.
