Summary

Arboga Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 746 students in Olivehurst, part of the Marysville Joint Unified district, operating in a community with high economic need where about two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

When looking at the bigger picture, Arboga is a stronger performer within its own district, with academic scores in English, math, and science that are better than the Marysville Joint Unified average and notably higher than nearby district schools like Cedar Lane Elementary and Ella Elementary. A major bright spot is a dramatic improvement in student attendance, with chronic absenteeism dropping sharply to a rate that is now better than both the district and state averages. Historically, the school has also shown exceptional success in supporting English Language Learner students.

However, comparisons to schools in neighboring districts, such as those in the Plumas Lake Elementary district like Rio Del Oro Elementary, show Arboga lags in academic proficiency. The school also faces internal challenges, including a steep decline in math scores in the upper grades and significant performance differences between student groups, with female students outperforming males. Despite having the lowest per-student spending among several nearby Marysville Joint Unified schools, Arboga achieves relatively better results, raising questions about how resources are used across the district.
