Summary:
In the 95835 zip code of Sacramento, there is one public middle school, Natomas Middle School, serving grades 6-8 within the Natomas Unified district.
Parents should be aware that Natomas Middle faces significant academic challenges. Its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, now placing it in the bottom 10% of all California middle schools. Student proficiency in core subjects like English, math, and science is substantially below both district and state averages, with particularly low scores in mathematics and science.
The school's high rate of chronic student absenteeism, over 30%, is a major concern as it directly impacts learning. While the district spends over $18,000 per student, these resources have not yet translated into improved academic outcomes. For families, this indicates the school serves a high-need community and requires targeted support to address both attendance and classroom instruction to help students succeed.
