Summary:
This analysis examines four middle schools serving grades 6-8 in Roseville, California (zip code 95747), revealing significant performance differences among schools in the same general area.
Barbara Chilton Middle stands out as the top performer, achieving the highest test scores in English, math, and science and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 9.7%. It is closely followed by Robert C. Cooley Middle, with both schools belonging to the Roseville City Elementary district and exceeding state averages. Silverado Middle from the Dry Creek Joint Elementary district performs solidly, though slightly below the top two, with a notable strength in science.
In contrast, Wilson C. Riles Middle in the Center Joint Unified district faces considerable challenges, with proficiency rates and a chronic absenteeism rate of 26.6% significantly below the other schools and state averages. Interestingly, higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes at Wilson C. Riles do not correlate with better outcomes in this comparison, while Barbara Chilton achieves its leading results with the second-lowest spending. The analysis suggests a strong link between lower chronic absenteeism and higher academic performance across these schools.
