Summary

Navelencia Middle serves 313 students in grades 6–8 in Reedley, California, as part of Kings Canyon Joint Unified. Its clearest strength is English language arts: in 2025–2026, 63% of students were proficient, 13 points above the state and 5 points above the district.

Compared with nearby schools, Navelencia ranks second in English language arts and math, and third in science. Its English results were 15 points above the nearby-school average; only General Grant Middle scored higher.

Seventh-grade math is the clearest concern, at 34%—3 points below the state and 9 below the district—while sixth- and eighth-grade math were above the state. Science proficiency was 37%, about 1 point above the state and 2 below the district.

Results have improved over time, especially in English: proficiency rose 12 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, while math gained 7 points and science 8. However, math fell from 46% in 2024–2025 to 42% in 2025–2026.
