Summary:
The Rescue Union Elementary School District serves middle school students in grades 6-8 through two schools, Marina Village Middle and Pleasant Grove Middle, both of which consistently rank well above California state averages in academic performance.
Marina Village Middle stands out as a top performer, maintaining a 5-star rating and ranking in the 93rd percentile statewide for three consecutive years. It excels in all subjects, with particularly strong math and science proficiency, and has an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 4.7%. Pleasant Grove Middle is a solid school with a 4-star rating, though its statewide ranking has fluctuated more and its academic proficiency rates, especially in math, are notably lower than Marina Village's.
An interesting finding is that Pleasant Grove receives significantly more funding per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio, yet Marina Village achieves higher academic results. Both schools show that 7th grade is typically the strongest for English Language Arts, while math scores tend to dip in 8th grade. For parents, the Rescue Union Elementary district as a whole provides a high-quality education, with both middle schools significantly outperforming state averages, but with clear differences in performance consistency and academic outcomes between the two campuses.
