Summary:
The Byron Union Elementary school district has only one middle school, Excelsior Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school maintains a consistent performance, its academic achievement, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, is generally lower than the district and state averages.
Excelsior Middle has been ranked between 1017 and 1299 out of around 2,700-2,800 California middle schools over the past three school years, placing it in the middle to lower range of performance statewide. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.0% in the 2022-2023 school year is higher than the state average, and its free/reduced lunch rate of 29.91% indicates a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
While Excelsior Middle maintains a consistent 3-out-of-5 star rating, the data suggests that the school could benefit from focusing on strategies to improve student attendance, provide targeted academic interventions, and address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. With only one middle school in the district, the performance of Excelsior Middle is crucial for the Byron Union Elementary community.
