Summary:

Fallbrook Union Elementary School District contains one middle school, James E. Potter Intermediate, serving grades 7-8 in the Fallbrook Union Elementary area.

This school serves a community with significant economic need, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Academically, it shows a clear strength in science, where student proficiency exceeds the California state average. However, performance in mathematics is a notable challenge, falling below both district and state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is higher than average, which is a concern as regular attendance is closely linked to academic success.

For parents, this indicates a school that is actively working to support its students and has the resources to make a difference, particularly by building on its successful science program while focusing on improving math outcomes and student attendance.
