Summary

Will Rogers Middle serves 564 students in grades 6–8 in Fair Oaks, in the San Juan Unified area. Its 2025–26 results are below district and state averages in English language arts (ELA), math and science. The central concern is that academic results are weak across all three subjects, with science the lowest among nearby schools and math showing the biggest gaps against district and state averages.

ELA is the relative bright spot: 36% of students were proficient, compared with 40% in the district and 49% statewide; Will Rogers ranked seventh of 10 schools in its nearby comparison. Math proficiency was 17%, trailing the district by 12 points and the state by 22, and also ranking seventh of 10 nearby schools. Science proficiency was 16%, below every nearby school serving grades 6–8; Mills Middle, the closest, scored 19%. There is variation by grade: seventh-grade ELA was 44%, slightly above the district’s 43%, and ranked fifth of 11 schools with data, while sixth-grade ELA was 22%.

Over the four reported years, ELA rose from 30% to 36%, and its gap with the state narrowed from 16 to 13 points. Math slipped from 18% to 17%, while its state gap widened from 17 to 22 points. Science rose slightly overall, from 14% to 16%, but fell from 25% the prior year. SchoolDigger rates Will Rogers at the 25th statewide percentile with one star; its 19.5:1 student–teacher ratio is among the lower ones locally. In 2024–25, 76% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; nearby Arcade Middle (83.4%) and Mills Middle (82.8%) had higher shares. Chronic absenteeism was 34%, versus 21% in the district and 18% statewide; only Foothill Ranch Middle and Sylvan Middle were higher among the 10 nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s subgroup measure placed English Language Learner Students at the 70th percentile in 2022–23, then the 28th in 2023–24; Asian Students ranked at the 3rd percentile in 2025–26, compared with the school’s overall 25th-percentile standing.
