Summary:
The Auburn Union Elementary district contains a single middle school, EV Cain Middle, which serves 524 students in grades 6-8. The school's student body is predominantly White (49.24%) and Hispanic (37.98%), with a significant proportion of economically disadvantaged students (45.42% free/reduced-price lunch rate).
Academically, EV Cain Middle faces some challenges, with Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) scores in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics that are generally lower than district and state averages. The school's ELA proficiency rates range from 37.14% to 37.97%, compared to the district's 36.72% to 37.97% and the state's 44.16% to 47.44%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates range from 19.35% to 30.29%, compared to the district's 19.23% to 29.94% and the state's 29.94% to 33.19%. However, the school's Science proficiency rate, as measured by the California Science Test (CAST), is 33.33%, which is higher than the district's 30.65% and the state's 28.76%.
Another area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.0%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the student-teacher ratio at EV Cain Middle is 19.1, slightly higher than the typical recommended range. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to focus on implementing effective teaching strategies, providing additional resources and support for students, and addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism.
