Summary

Willma Cavitt Junior High serves 375 students in grades 7–8 in Granite Bay, within the Eureka Union district. In 2025–2026, students’ proficiency was 79% in English language arts (ELA), 76% in math and 72% in science. Math is the school’s clearest distinction: its 76% proficiency was 38 points above California’s rate and 14 points higher than the average for nearby grade 7–8 peers, Olympus Junior High and Spring View Middle.

Compared with the state and district, Cavitt performed well in all three subjects, with its largest state advantage in math. Its ELA rate was 30 points above the state and 7 points above the district; it also led Olympus by 4 points and Spring View by 14. In science, Cavitt was 36 points above the state and 10 above the district, but its 72% was essentially level with Olympus and well above Spring View’s 42%. ELA is comparatively less distinctive: Marina Village Middle slightly outscored Cavitt in seventh-grade ELA and led it by 4 points in eighth grade. Cavitt’s results also vary by grade: seventh graders scored higher than eighth graders by 6 points in ELA and 3 in math.

ELA proficiency fell from 84% in 2022–2023 to 79% in 2025–2026, while the state rate rose, narrowing Cavitt’s advantage over the state by 8 points. Math and science remain strong, and chronic absenteeism fell from 16% in 2021–2022 to 3% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 5% and state’s 18%. SchoolDigger ranked Cavitt 91st of 2,703 schools, in the 97th percentile with five stars; it ranked 46th and in the 98th percentile in 2022–2023. The school’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 24.4:1, close to the nearby-school average of 23.8:1, while 9% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the lowest rate among the nearby schools. Cavitt is the smallest school in the nearby group, so its results may be less stable; comparisons also depend on schools’ grade spans.
