Summary:

In the 95818 zip code of Sacramento, there is one public middle school, California Middle, serving grades 7 and 8 within the Sacramento City Unified School District.

California Middle consistently earns a 3-star rating and performs better than the district average in English, math, and science. A notable pattern is that 7th graders at the school score significantly higher than 8th graders in core subjects, which may be an area for parents to inquire about regarding academic support during the final year of middle school.

The school faces a challenge with chronic absenteeism, which is higher than both district and state averages. However, it operates with substantial per-student funding. For families in the area, this school represents a stable option that outperforms many others in its district, though improvements in attendance and 8th-grade achievement could help it reach even higher performance levels.
