Summary:

Zip code 96113 in Herlong, California, contains just one middle school, Fort Sage Middle, serving grades 7-8 in a very small, rural setting.

This school is notable for its extremely small size, with only 9 students enrolled, which results in an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 6.7 to 1 and a very high per-student spending of $30,755. The student population faces significant economic challenges, with nearly 90% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Historically, the school's academic rankings have been in the lower percentiles compared to other California middle schools, which presents a contrast to the high level of resources dedicated per student.

For parents, Fort Sage Middle offers a highly personalized educational environment due to its tiny class sizes within the Fort Sage Unified district. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate is slightly above the state average, and its historical performance data suggests ongoing academic challenges. This situation highlights the unique dynamics of rural micro-schools, where substantial funding and individual attention must be balanced with the complexities of serving a small, high-need community.
