Summary

Yolo Junior High is a public middle school serving about 740 students in grades 6-8 in Newman, CA, within the Newman-Crows Landing Unified school district, and it serves a community where a high percentage of families face economic challenges.

Academically, the school's test scores are below state averages, but it shows some important strengths when compared to nearby schools with similar student populations. For instance, it performs better academically than Gustine Middle and has been more successful at reducing chronic student absences than several neighbors, including Denair Middle and Turlock Junior High. The school also shows relative effectiveness in supporting English Language Learners and has a notable strength in science instruction, where it outperforms its own district average.

Areas for attention include a steep decline in math scores from 6th to 8th grade and lower performance in Spanish Language Arts. The school's overall state ranking has recently improved to the 30th percentile, showing positive momentum. With a moderate class size and mid-range per-student spending compared to schools like Barbara Spratling Middle and Delhi Middle, Yolo Junior High appears to be navigating significant challenges with some notable successes in attendance and specific academic areas.
