Summary:
The Campbell Union district consists of 12 schools serving grades K-8 in a California community with a wide range of school performance, from some of the state's highest-ranked to those facing significant academic challenges.
Standout top-tier schools include Marshall Lane Elementary and Forest Hill Elementary, both ranking in the state's 97th percentile or higher with exceptional test scores and very low chronic absenteeism. Rolling Hills Middle is the district's top middle school, also performing in the 94th percentile. In contrast, Rosemary and Blackford Elementary rank in the bottom 15% statewide, with proficiency rates more than 60 points lower than the top schools, while Monroe Middle shows a dramatic performance gap compared to Rolling Hills.
The district's central challenge is a stark achievement gap between its highest and lowest-performing schools, which correlates strongly with economic disadvantage and chronic absenteeism rates. The Campbell School of Innovation shows promising improvement as a large K-8 school performing above average. For parents, this means school choice within the district is critical, as student experience and outcomes vary more dramatically here than in many neighboring areas.
