Summary:
There is only one middle school, Magnolia Intermediate, located within the Pleasant Ridge Union Elementary School District. While Magnolia Intermediate has some positive academic metrics, such as proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are generally on par with or slightly above district and state averages, it also faces challenges in areas like chronic absenteeism and inconsistent performance across subject areas.
Magnolia Intermediate's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.2% is significantly higher than the state average, which could be impacting the school's overall academic performance. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates in Science are lower than the district and state averages, suggesting the need for a focus on improving instructional practices and curriculum to ensure more consistent academic achievement across all subject areas.
The school's fluctuating statewide ranking, ranging from 797 out of 2,740 California middle schools in 2021-2022 to 1,002 out of 2,802 in 2022-2023, indicates that its performance may be variable from year to year. Addressing the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism and implementing data-driven strategies to improve student outcomes could be important focus areas for Magnolia Intermediate and the Pleasant Ridge Union Elementary School District.
