Summary:
The supplied list for Yuba County Office of Education contains one high school, Thomas E. Mathews Community, serving grades 7–12 with 24 students. Its 2025–2026 proficiency was 9% in English language arts (ELA) and 0% in math, compared with state results of 49% and 38%, respectively. The clearest concern for families is chronic absenteeism: 83% of students were chronically absent, versus 41% districtwide and 18% statewide.
There is no top or bottom school relative to other listed schools: Thomas E. Mathews Community is the only school in the list, so a local peer comparison is not possible. Against the state, however, its 2025–2026 ELA result was 40 percentage points lower, and its math result was 38 points lower. The school’s science result is suppressed, so it cannot be compared. The supplied data show substantial state gaps in both reported subjects, alongside the high absenteeism rate.
ELA improved from 0% in 2024–2025 to 9% in 2025–2026, narrowing the gap with the state from 49 points to 40 points; the state remained near 49% across those years. Math proficiency stayed at 0%, while the state rose from 37% to 38%, widening the school’s math gap by 1 point. SchoolDigger lists a district ranking of 812 out of 968, at the 16th percentile, with one star. The school’s student-teacher ratio was 7.9 in 2024–2025, and 96% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; these figures offer context, not an explanation for the results. With only one school listed, the data cannot show how it compares with local peers.
