Summary

Glen Edwards Middle is a public school serving about 815 students in grades 6-8 in Lincoln, CA, within the Western Placer Unified School District.

Academically, the school's test scores in English, Math, and Science are below both the district and state averages, and its statewide ranking has recently declined. A key point for parents is the significant performance gap with other local schools, particularly Twelve Bridges Middle, which is in the same district but has proficiency rates roughly 30 points higher. While Glen Edwards serves a student population with greater economic need, several other area schools with similar or higher levels of need, such as Warren T. Eich Middle and Barbara Chilton Middle, achieve stronger academic results.

The school spends more per student than some higher-performing neighbors, suggesting challenges with how resources are used. There are bright spots, including notable effectiveness with English Language Learners and a real improvement in reducing chronic student absences since the pandemic. Performance also varies by grade, with 7th grade doing relatively well in English. The analysis indicates that addressing the school's challenges will require a close look at instructional practices and support systems, building on the existing strengths with certain student groups.
