Summary

George T. Egling Middle is a public school serving 553 students in grades 4 through 8 in the Colusa Unified school district, which serves a community with significant economic needs, as over three-quarters of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science generally lower than those at several nearby middle schools, including Sycamore Middle and Live Oak Middle. However, the school has a notable strength in student attendance, boasting a significantly lower rate of chronic absenteeism than most of its peers, a metric it has improved dramatically in recent years. Performance varies within the school, with a substantial gap between female and male students and a recent, sharp decline in scores for English Language Learners.

Despite having higher per-student spending than many comparison schools like Lloyd G. Johnson Junior High, academic results have not yet matched this investment. The school's unique grade configuration (4-8) and larger size also differentiate it from other local schools that typically serve only grades 6-8. Parents may want to inquire about the school's specific strategies for supporting male students and English Learners, as well as how it is working to translate its strong attendance record into improved academic achievement for all.
