Summary

Louis Pasteur Fundamental Middle serves 708 students in grades 6–8 in Orangevale, California. Its 2025–26 test results were stronger than San Juan Unified’s in ELA and math, but below California’s in ELA, math and science. The most important concern is that ELA and math results have fallen since 2022–23 while state results improved, leaving the school below the state in all three tested subjects.

Compared with six nearby schools serving grades 6–8, Louis Pasteur scored below their average in every subject: 45% versus 54% in ELA, 36% versus 40% in math, and 30% versus 41% in science. The largest local gap is in science. Against the district, however, the school was ahead by 5 percentage points in ELA and 7 in math, while science was 1 point lower; it trailed the state by 5, 2 and 6 points, respectively. Grade 7 math stands out as a strength: 47% were proficient, compared with 38% statewide and 31% districtwide. Grade 7 ELA was weaker, at 41% versus 51% statewide and 43% districtwide.

The school’s overall standing has also slipped: SchoolDigger ranked it 1,225 of 2,703 California schools in 2025–26, at the 55th percentile and 3 stars, down from the 73rd percentile in 2022–23. In 2024–25, 52% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a 33% average at nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism was 24% in 2025–26, above the district’s 21% and the state’s 18%, though below its 37% peak in 2021–22. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves Multi-racial Students placed the group at the 19th percentile in 2025–26, well below the school’s overall 55th percentile. Its measure for Hispanic Students fell from the 71st percentile in 2023–24 to the 45th in 2025–26.

If you do not mind your child being demeaned, yelled at, cussed out - than this school is for you. I have overheard Admin staff belittle their students and I have VP has inappropriate relationships with staff members. This school is not a great place for students. Close Quote
