Summary

Herbert C. Green Middle is a public school serving 363 students in grades 5-8 in Placerville, part of the Mother Lode Union Elementary school district, which is ranked in the middle of all districts statewide.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with student proficiency in English, Math, and Science falling well below the state average; for example, only about 22% of students are proficient in math compared to 37% statewide. This represents a notable decline over the past decade, as the school was once a higher-performing 4-star school. While chronic absenteeism has improved, it remains higher than at many nearby schools like Miller's Hill and Rolling Hills Middle, which perform exceptionally well. The school's per-student spending is also lower than several of these higher-performing neighbors.

Performance varies across student groups, with a noticeable gap between male and female students, and the school serves a population where nearly half qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Interestingly, the similarly high-poverty Edwin Markham Middle performs better, suggesting poverty alone doesn't explain the results. The school has shown historical strengths in supporting English Learners and Special Education students, indicating areas of effective practice. The wide variation in performance among schools in El Dorado County, from top performers like Miller's Hill to lower performers, suggests local factors are important.
