Summary:
Newman-Crows Landing Unified serves one middle school, Yolo Junior High, which educates about 740 students in grades 6 through 8 in this Central Valley district.
For parents considering Newman-Crows Landing Unified, it's important to know that while Yolo Junior High faces academic challenges common to many schools, it also shows some promising areas. The school's performance in English Language Arts is relatively stable across grades and is closer to the district average, but math scores drop significantly by 8th grade, falling far below state averages. On a positive note, the school's science scores are slightly better than the district average, and it has a lower rate of chronic student absenteeism than both the district and the state, which is a strength.
Overall, Yolo Junior High is showing slow improvement, moving up in its statewide ranking over the past year. Key areas for families to inquire about would be the specific supports in place for middle school math and Spanish language learning, where proficiency is low. The school's ability to maintain better student attendance than its peers is a solid foundation that could be leveraged for further academic growth.
