Summary:

Heber Elementary District contains one middle school, Heber, serving grades 5 through 8 in a community where a significant majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

This school shows a clear pattern of steady improvement, having moved up in statewide rankings over the past three years. A major strength is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 6.7%, which is far better than both the Heber Elementary district and California state averages, indicating strong student engagement and a positive school environment.

Academically, performance is mixed. Students at Heber perform close to state averages in English Language Arts, with 8th graders scoring above the state benchmark. However, mathematics and science scores are areas for growth, lagging behind state averages, though math performance shows a strong recovery by 8th grade. The school's consistent upward trajectory suggests effective strategies are in place to support student learning.
