Los Nietos Sheds Underperforming Label

Labeled as underperforming according to federal standards for more than a half-dozen years, Los Nietos Middle School is now enjoying a completely different designation – just in time for the district’s 150th anniversary celebration. Officials say the 400-student campus is the only middle school in Los Angeles County that managed this school year to exit Program Improvement, a status placed on schools that fail to meet annual federal testing targets for two consecutive years.
