Summary

Foothill Intermediate is a public middle school serving 237 students in grades 6-8 in Marysville Joint Unified, a district that faces significant challenges, but the school itself is a remarkable and rapidly improving success story.

The school has made an incredible turnaround in just a few years, jumping from a low 1-star rating to a solid 3-star rating and now performing above the district average in English, math, and science. It significantly outperforms other district middle schools like Yuba Gardens Intermediate and Anna McKenney Intermediate. A key achievement is slashing chronic absenteeism by half, now having better student attendance than both the district and state averages, which is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Ishi Hills Middle. The school also shows exceptional effectiveness with special education students, whose outcomes have improved dramatically.

While Foothill is a standout in its district, comparisons to schools in neighboring areas provide context. Its academic results, though strong locally, are similar to or slightly behind those of schools in higher-performing districts like Sycamore Middle in Gridley Unified and Live Oak Middle. Foothill benefits from higher per-student funding, which supports a favorable student-teacher ratio, but math proficiency remains an area for continued growth compared to these peers. Overall, Foothill Intermediate demonstrates that rapid, positive change is possible and serves as an encouraging model within the community.
