Summary:
The Roseville City Elementary district operates four middle schools serving grades 6-8, all of which perform above state averages, though there are notable differences in performance and resources among them.
When comparing schools, Barbara Chilton Middle stands out as the top performer with the highest test scores in English, math, and science and the lowest rate of chronic student absences. In contrast, George A. Buljan Middle has the lowest academic scores and the highest chronic absenteeism rate among the district's middle schools. Robert C. Cooley Middle and Warren T. Eich Middle fall in the middle, with Eich having the highest per-student spending but not the highest academic results.
An interesting finding is that higher spending does not automatically mean better outcomes, as the top-performing school has the lowest per-student spending. The district as a whole does well at keeping chronic absenteeism far below the state average. Parents should note that 7th graders tend to have the strongest English scores, while 8th-grade math scores show a decline across all schools, a common pattern worth investigating.
