Summary

Toyon Middle is a public middle school serving 522 students in grades 6-8 in Valley Springs, CA, within the Calaveras Unified school district, which ranks in the bottom quarter of districts statewide.

Academically, Toyon Middle faces significant challenges, with only about 17% of students proficient in English and Math, which is well below state averages and lower than nearby schools like Jackson Junior High. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, with 43.5% of students missing too much school—a rate more than double the state average and much higher than all surrounding schools. The school's statewide ranking has also fallen sharply over the past decade.

Interestingly, Toyon Middle spends significantly more per student than comparable schools, including Ione Junior High and Learners Empowered Academic Progress (LEAP), yet has the lowest test scores. Performance also tends to decline from 6th to 8th grade. While the school serves a population with high economic need, Jackson Junior High in the Amador County Unified district achieves better results with similar demographics and less funding, suggesting other factors are at play in Toyon's outcomes.
