Summary

Clarksburg Middle is a small public school serving 171 students in grades 7-9 in a rural community within the River Delta Joint Unified district, but it faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 4% of all California schools.

Academically, the school's proficiency rates are far below state averages, with only 17% of students meeting standards in English and 8% in math; this is a sharp decline from its performance a decade ago and lags behind nearby schools like Elizabeth Pinkerton Middle (76% ELA) and Toby Johnson Middle (67% ELA). This struggle is particularly pronounced for several student groups, including English Learners, whose performance has dropped dramatically in recent years. The school also underperforms compared to the River Delta Joint Unified district average.

Despite these academic difficulties, Clarksburg Middle has a notable strength in student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate better than the state average and lower than many area schools such as Sam Brannan Middle. The school operates with a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than some higher-performing peers, raising questions about how resources are used to address core academic needs.
