It is part of the Pleasant Ridge Union Elementary School District, which is ranked 519 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Magnolia Intermediate has some notable strengths, such as its female, Hispanic, special education, and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students performing relatively well compared to their peers in other California middle schools. However, the school also faces challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.2% in 2017-2018 to 36.6% in 2021-2022. Additionally, the school's overall academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally on par or slightly below the district and state averages, with a few exceptions, such as 8th grade English Language Arts and 7th grade Mathematics, where Magnolia Intermediate outperforms the district and state.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Twelve Bridges Middle and Granite Oaks Middle in the Rocklin Unified School District, Magnolia Intermediate's performance is generally on par or slightly below. These nearby schools, which tend to have higher socioeconomic status, consistently outperform Magnolia Intermediate on state assessments. Addressing the school's attendance and academic challenges, while building on the strengths of its diverse student population, could help Magnolia Intermediate better serve its community and improve educational outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
