Summary

Lee Middle is a public school serving about 575 students in grades 7 and 8 within the Woodland Joint Unified School District, which serves a community where many families face economic challenges.

Academically, the school's test scores in English, math, and science are below state averages, with math being a particular area for growth. It's important for parents to know that Lee Middle performs below its very close neighbor, Douglass Middle, which is in the same district and serves a similar student population but achieves higher proficiency rates. However, Lee Middle is on an upward trend, having improved its statewide ranking significantly over the past few years and showing better outcomes for groups like students in special education. The school also operates with less funding per student than several nearby schools but achieves comparable or sometimes better results, suggesting resources are used efficiently.

When looking at the broader region, schools in the neighboring Davis Joint Unified district, such as Oliver Wendell Holmes Junior High, have much higher test scores, highlighting a stark performance gap between districts. A standout comparison is Natomas Pacific Pathways Prep Middle, a charter school that excels academically and has remarkably low chronic absenteeism. Reducing absenteeism, which is higher at Lee Middle than at many peers, appears to be a key opportunity, as schools with better attendance consistently show stronger academic performance.
