California’s growth results and student groups
State growth model · CDE growth model 2024–25
California's own growth model places it near the 31st percentile of middle schools.
Context — never part of the Scope Score
California runs its own growth model — it follows individual children in grades 4 through 8 and compares each one against a prediction from their own prior scores. On that measure this school sits a little below the middle of California middle schools in reading and math together. We show it; we don't score it.
— pts vs expected is scale-score points above or below what California's model predicted for these same children from their own prior-year scores. It is not a percentage and not a percent of anything. A typical California middle school lands at −1 in reading, and the middle half of them fall between −8 and +6 — the spread is wide, so read the rank, not the sign. CDE blends two consecutive years into each published figure, so adjacent years share input data and no year-over-year trend can honestly be drawn from them. It covers grades 4-8 only, and it is not part of the Scope Score — we assessed it and left it out: it tracks school demographics roughly three times as strongly as our own growth measure does, and one published year is not enough to test how stable it is.

— 5 more groups are reported here with between 11 and 29 students. We hold those back on purpose: at that size the figure swings about 17 points on its own, and a quarter of such groups land past the state's top or bottom cut point by chance alone. They are listed with their student counts in the data appendix. — A group not listed at all had fewer than 11 students with a growth score, so California published nothing for it here. That is a privacy protection, not a judgment about those students. — Context only. None of this enters the Scope Score.

The road from this school ends at Middletown High, which sent 5 graduates to UC campuses last fall and teaches 1 AP subject. Those numbers describe past cohorts — a child starting here today would reach Middletown High around 2031, and 6 years is a long time for a school to hold still, and by the state's 2023 count 52% of Middletown High's graduates enrolled in college somewhere, UC or not.

Plan your next step
What should I do next?
Worth a school visit
Ask what the school is working on next. Strong numbers tell you where a school is, not where it's going.
- Ask how the school follows up when a student starts missing days — chronic absence often starts outside the classroom, not inside it.
- Ask what typically leads to a suspension, and what happens before it gets there.
- Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
- Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
- Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
- Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Middletown Middle a good middle school?
Middletown Middle has a Scope Score of 28 out of 100, placing it in the 30th percentile of California middle schools and ranked #1,514 statewide. 10.1% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 7.1 percentage points below the California average of 17.2%. The Scope Score weights 6 dimensions for middle schools: exceeded standard (42%), met or exceeded (proficient) (23%), grade 6-to-8 growth (20%), chronic absenteeism (5%), suspension rate (5%), and ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Middletown Middle's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 37.4% of students at Middletown Middle met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 10.1% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 27.3% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 10.1% went beyond it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it shows how many students go beyond the standard rather than only meeting it. 604 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Middletown Middle rank in California?
Middletown Middle ranks #1,514 among California middle schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 30th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), grade-level growth (Grade 6 to grade 8 growth), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Middletown Middle?
33.3% of students at Middletown Middle are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 18.1%. The suspension rate is 13.4%. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
How does Middletown Middle compare to other schools in Middletown?
Middletown Middle scores 28/100 (30th percentile) among California middle schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 320 students. Use the schools in Middletown page or the map view to compare all middle schools nearby.
How does Middletown Middle serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Middletown Middle in Middletown, 35.3% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 40.3% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Middletown Middle trails its district average for low-income students by 5.0 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (25.9% Math proficient); White students (48.0% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 8.8 percentage points for hispanic students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 170 students tested. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.
What high school does Middletown Middle feed into?
By attendance boundary, Middletown Middle is zoned to Middletown High. Middletown High has a Scope Score of 55 out of 100. Boundaries come from the U.S. Department of Education's School Attendance Boundary Survey, a 2015-16 collection and the most recent national one — they are approximate and may since have changed. A boundary is also not a placement guarantee: magnet, charter, open-enrollment and inter-district transfer options mean students from one school often continue to several different ones. Confirm your address with the district before making an enrollment or housing decision. Data source: NCES School Attendance Boundary Survey, analyzed by SchoolScope.

Whole scale-score points above or below what CDE's model predicted for these same children from their own prior-year scores — not a percentage, not a percentile. Statewide a typical school lands near +1 with a spread of about 13 points either side, so read a figure against its group's own typical value, not against zero. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a growth score — published by CDE, held back from the narrative sections above because at that size the figure swings about 17 points on its own. “Not categorised” is CDE assigning no band — English Only, Recently Reclassified, and English Learners Only receive a value and no band, for every school in the state. It is not a missing number. Most figures blend two consecutive years, so adjacent published years share input data and no trend line can honestly be drawn across them. A group absent from this table had fewer than 11 students with a growth score and was never published. Grades 4-8 only. None of this enters the Scope Score — it is more strongly correlated with school demographics than our own growth measure, and one published year is not enough to test its reliability.
