Summary:
The Clarksburg, CA area (zip code 95612) is served by three public schools—Delta Elementary Charter, Clarksburg Middle, and Delta High—spanning grades K-12 across the Delta Elementary Charter District and the River Delta Joint Unified district.
Delta Elementary Charter stands out as the strongest academic performer, consistently scoring above state averages in math and science and showing excellent proficiency in its upper grades. In contrast, Clarksburg Middle faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates far below state averages across all core subjects. Delta High excels in student support, achieving a near-perfect graduation rate and zero dropouts, despite test scores that are below state averages.
A key finding is the stark difference in student economic indicators between the elementary and secondary schools, with the free/reduced lunch rate much lower at the charter elementary. The performance drop from elementary to middle school is pronounced, though the high school successfully guides most students to graduation. For families, this area offers a robust elementary foundation and a high school with exceptional graduation success, but the middle school's academic performance is an area of concern that may warrant further investigation.
