Middle Schools in California Creative Learning Academy Middle School District

The California Creative Learning Academy Middle School District contains a single, small middle school, California Creative Learning Academy Middle School, which serves 98 students in grades 6 through 8.

This school presents a complex picture for parents, with high per-student spending of over $21,000 not yet translating to strong academic results. Student performance in English Language Arts is slightly below the state average, but mathematics scores are a significant area of concern, with proficiency rates far below state averages and declining sharply as students advance through the grades. Science proficiency is also below the state level. A major challenge facing the school is chronic absenteeism, with over 37% of students missing a substantial amount of school, which is nearly double the state average and likely impacts learning.

Despite these academic challenges, the school has shown some recent improvement in its statewide ranking compared to the previous year. For families, key considerations include the school's small size, which can allow for more individual attention, alongside the critical need to address student attendance and the substantial gaps in mathematics achievement. The high level of funding suggests potential for targeted interventions to support improvement in these areas.
