Summary:
Travis Unified School District in Fairfield, California, has one middle school, Golden West Middle, serving grades 7 and 8 with about 750 students.
This school shows clear academic strengths, particularly in 7th grade English and math, where student proficiency rates are above both the Travis Unified and state averages. However, there are notable challenges in 8th grade math and, especially, in science, where performance falls below average. The school also maintains a chronic absenteeism rate better than the state, indicating good student attendance.
Over the past three years, Golden West Middle's statewide ranking has declined, moving from a 4-star to a 3-star rating. This trend is important for parents to note, as it suggests the school's relative standing among California schools has slipped despite its areas of strength. The data points to a significant performance gap between 7th and 8th grades, making the academic transition between these years a key area for families to inquire about.
