Summary

Will Rogers Middle is a public school serving about 560 students in grades 6-8 within the San Juan Unified district in Fair Oaks, and it faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom third of all California middle schools.

The school's test scores in math, English, and science are below both district and state averages, with chronic student absenteeism being a major concern at 34%, which is much higher than at higher-performing nearby schools like Winston Churchill Middle. Interestingly, Will Rogers spends more per student than most comparison schools in its district, yet it achieves lower academic results, creating a puzzle about how resources are used. The school does show a relative strength in supporting its Special Education students, who perform better than many of their peers statewide.

When compared to other local schools, the differences are stark; for instance, Winston Churchill Middle in the same district ranks in the top 15% of schools. Even John Barrett Middle, less than a mile away, performs better. This suggests that factors specific to Will Rogers, rather than just district policy, are influencing its outcomes, with improving attendance and instructional strategies being critical areas for focus.
