Summary

Yuba Gardens Intermediate is a public middle school serving 761 students in grades 7-8 in Olivehurst, part of the Marysville Joint Unified district, which faces broader academic challenges across its schools.

Academically, the school's proficiency rates are significantly below state averages, with only 31% of students proficient in English and 14% in math, placing it lower than most nearby middle schools like Bear River (40% math) and Riverside Meadows Intermediate (45% English). While the school spends more per student ($18,722) than some higher-performing neighbors, it has a higher student-teacher ratio and a chronic absenteeism rate of 21.5%, which is above the state average.

Despite these challenges, there are signs of recent improvement, including a reduction in chronic absenteeism from previous highs and an increase in math scores. The school also shows relative strength in supporting its English Language Learner students. Its performance varies when compared to other local schools; for instance, Foothill Intermediate, another school in the same district, achieves better results with a similar student population, while Gray Avenue Middle in a different district performs lower.
