Summary

Toyon Middle serves 522 students in grades 6–8 in Valley Springs, California. Its most important challenge is low achievement across all three tested subjects: in 2025–2026, about 14% of students were proficient in ELA, 8% in math, and 13% in science, each rate below the state and district.

Compared with nearby schools that have reported scores, Toyon had the lowest ELA and math results: Ione Junior High and Jackson Junior High averaged about 25% in ELA and 18% in math, versus Toyon’s 14% and 8%. Science was mixed: Toyon’s 13% was above Ione’s 7% but below Jackson’s 28%. Compared with Calaveras Unified, Toyon was lower by 8 points in ELA, 6 in math, and 5 in science; its gaps from California were 36, 30, and 23 points, respectively. ELA was its largest gap from the state and district. Altaville School for Independent Study has no usable school-level scores for this comparison.

Results have not improved over the longer term: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, Toyon’s proficiency fell by 2 points in ELA and 1 point each in math and science, while state results rose and the gaps widened. SchoolDigger placed Toyon at the 4th percentile with 0 stars in 2025–2026, down from the 54th percentile in 2015–2016 and below Ione’s 9th and Jackson’s 27th percentile. In its statewide group rankings, SchoolDigger placed Special Education Students at the 18th percentile, above Toyon’s overall 4th percentile; that ranking shifted from the 5th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 41st in 2024–2025 before falling. Toyon’s student–teacher ratio was 20.9 in 2024–2025, and 56% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with 31%–48% at nearby schools reporting the same measure. These figures are context, not explanations for the test results.
