Summary

In Lincoln, California, Glen Edwards Middle enrolls 815 students in grades 6–8 and is one of several middle schools in the surrounding area. Its clearest concern is literacy and math: in 2025–2026, its results were well below the average for nearby schools serving the same grades, especially in English language arts.

Compared with nearby schools and state and district results, science is the bright spot, while ELA is the clearest weakness. Glen Edwards had 41% proficiency in ELA and 32% in math, compared with nearby grades 6–8 school averages of 60% and 47%; it scored below all six of those schools in both subjects. ELA was 9 percentage points below California and 13 below Western Placer Unified; math was 7 points below the state and 12 below the district. Science proficiency was 39%, above the state’s 36% and the district’s 38%, but 8 points below the nearby-school average. Only one of the six nearby schools had lower science results.

Science has improved substantially, rising from 19% in 2022–2023 to 39% in 2025–2026, while ELA and math gained only 2 and 1 percentage points, respectively; their gaps to the state widened over that period. SchoolDigger rates Glen Edwards at the 50th percentile with 3 stars, below all nine nearby schools with rankings; their average was about the 81st percentile. Its 21.9 student-teacher ratio was close to the nearby average of 22.4, and 45% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, compared with a nearby average of 32%. Attendance has improved too: chronic absenteeism fell from 28% in 2021–2022 to 14% in 2025–2026, though that remained above the district’s 12%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves Asian students was at the 16th percentile, compared with its overall 50th percentile; its ranking for how well it serves Special Education Students was at the 33rd percentile, down from the 69th percentile in 2023–2024.
