Summary

Wilson C. Riles Middle is a public school for grades 7 and 8 with 682 students in Roseville, part of the Center Joint Unified school district, which serves a community with a high level of economic need.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English, Math, and Science below the state average, and it has seen a decline in its statewide rating in recent years. A major concern is chronic student absenteeism, which at 26.6% is notably higher than at many neighboring schools like Barbara Chilton Middle (9.7%) and Silverado Middle (15.0%). Performance varies widely among different student groups; for instance, the school shows relative strength in supporting homeless and African American students but has struggled to provide effective support for its Asian student population.

Despite serving a similar student population, Wilson C. Riles Middle underperforms compared to other schools with comparable demographics, such as Antelope Crossing Middle and George A. Buljan Middle. The school's location near higher-performing districts like Roseville City Elementary highlights a geographic performance divide, suggesting potential for learning from nearby schools to address attendance and improve academic outcomes for all students.
