Summary:
Colusa, California is served by one middle school, George T. Egling Middle, which educates grades 4-8 with 553 students as part of the Colusa Unified district.
This school shows a clear strength in maintaining student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 12.5% that is significantly better than both the district and state averages. Academically, while performance in English and Math is below state averages, the school outperforms its own district in science proficiency. A notable pattern in the data is a sharp drop in math scores between 4th and 5th grade, which is an area that may benefit from focused attention.
Over the past three years, the school's statewide ranking has gradually declined, moving from the 45th to the 34th percentile. However, it still ranks higher than the Colusa Unified district overall, which is in the 21st percentile. With a per-student spending above the state average and a manageable student-teacher ratio, the school has resources that could be leveraged to address academic gaps while building on its successful attendance strategies.
