Summary:
In the 95824 zip code of Sacramento, California, there is one public middle school, Will C. Wood Middle, serving grades 7 and 8 within the Sacramento City Unified School District.
Will C. Wood Middle School faces significant academic challenges, with its student proficiency rates in English, math, and science falling well below both district and state averages. The school's statewide ranking has also declined recently. A notable concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 26.5%, which is higher than average and can negatively impact learning. However, the school directs substantial resources toward its students, with per-student spending that is above the typical average for California.
The school serves a student population where a high percentage qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic need.

For parents, this indicates a school environment with considerable challenges but also significant invested resources, pointing to an important area for further investigation into how support translates into student outcomes.
