Summary:

Twelve Bridges Middle is a public middle school located in Lincoln, California, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 882 students. It is part of the Western Placer Unified School District, which is ranked 470 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Twelve Bridges Middle consistently outperforms the Western Placer Unified School District and the state of California in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. The school also has strong performance across different student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% of California middle schools for Hispanic students and low socioeconomic status students in ELA/Literacy, and in the top 5% for African American students in ELA/Literacy. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 0.8% in 2018-2019 to 17.1% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern that the school and district should address.

Compared to the nearby schools, such as Glen Edwards Middle and George A. Buljan Middle, Twelve Bridges Middle outperforms them in both ELA/Literacy and Mathematics proficiency. Additionally, Twelve Bridges Middle has a relatively lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher socioeconomic status of the student population, which may contribute to the school's strong academic performance.

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.

Open Quote High academic standards, nice kids and supportive community- what more could we want! We moved here from Danville, in the Bay Area. The academics at this school were on par with those in Danville, a highly respected school district with top notch schools. I’m so happy we made the move to the 12 Bridges neighborhood as my child is thriving academically and socially. Close Quote

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.
