Summary

Yuba Gardens Intermediate is a public school serving 761 students in grades 7–8 in Olivehurst, within Marysville Joint Unified. Its most important takeaway for families is that students’ proficiency is substantially below state results in all three tested subjects.

Science is the school’s strongest subject relative to nearby schools, its district, and California; math is its weakest. In 2025–26, about 16% of students were proficient in science, 13% in math, and 28% in English language arts (ELA). Those results were about 20, 25, and 22 percentage points below state rates, respectively, and 6, 8, and 6 points below district rates. Yuba Gardens also scored below the average of nearby schools by about 9 points in science, 14 in math, and 11 in ELA. It ranked second-lowest among eight nearby schools in ELA and math, and third-lowest in science; Gray Avenue Middle scored lower in all three. Among same-district peers, Anna McKenney Intermediate and Foothill Intermediate had higher ELA and math results.

Math and science proficiency have improved since 2022–23, rising by about 5 and 7 percentage points, while ELA increased by less than 1 point and fell about 3 points in the latest year. Even so, the state gap widened in ELA by about 2 points and narrowed in math by about 1 point and science by about 2. Chronic absenteeism also improved, dropping from 38% in 2021–22 to 20% in 2025–26. SchoolDigger ranks Yuba Gardens at the 13th percentile statewide and gives it one star for 2025–26. Its student-teacher ratio was 20.8 in 2024–25, and 78% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. One notable historical result: SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves English Language Learner Students rose to the 43rd percentile in 2023–24, compared with the school’s overall 19th percentile that year. Nearby schools serve different grade spans, so all-grade comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like.
