Yuba County Special Education, Marysville CA

Original Research by School Decision on Yuba County Special Education

Yuba County Special Education is a county-operated special education school serving students in kindergarten through grade twelve from across Yuba County. The school is located in Marysville at 935 14th Street.

The enrollment is small, with about two hundred students spread across the full grade span. The student population reflects the broader county demographics, with roughly equal shares identifying as Hispanic and white, a smaller Asian population, and modest representation across other racial and ethnic groups. About three-fifths of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a student body from economically disadvantaged households.

State assessment data for this school is not available. Because this is a special education setting, most students served may take alternate assessments aligned to modified academic standards rather than the standard state tests, or may be excluded from state testing altogether based on their individualized education plans. As a result, the absence of reported proficiency rates does not reflect weak performance; it reflects the nature of the population and the individualized academic pathways these students follow. A parent seeking details on academic progress, curriculum, and student outcomes should contact the school directly to discuss how outcomes are measured and tracked for students with disabilities.

The school sits within Marysville, a historic Gold Rush-era river town at the confluence of the Feather and Yuba Rivers, roughly an hour north of Sacramento. Downtown retains its nineteenth-century character with brick commercial buildings and a walkable historic grid. The city is pursuing significant redevelopment, including downtown housing infill and the revival of historic assets, with nearby employers including Adventist Health and Beale Air Force Base. Housing values in the 95901 zip code where the school is located are moderate for the region, and rental availability is present.

Yuba County Special Education operates under the Yuba County Office of Education, which serves the county as a whole. As a specialized setting for students with disabilities, this school provides a distinct pathway from the typical district schools serving Marysville and surrounding areas. Prospective families should reach out directly to the school to understand eligibility, the individualized education planning process, program focus areas, and how the school partners with families to support each student's academic, social, and vocational goals.

Academic performance

How students graduate and prepare for what comes next.

Graduation rate (ACGR)

<50%Cohort of 11 students · Class of 2021

The federal source publishes a banded range instead of an exact rate when the graduating cohort is small enough that an exact number could risk identifying individual students.

How this school compares to all schools in this state

Each dot is one school’s SY 2020-21 graduation rate, binned by integer rate. Taller columns mean more schools at that rate. This school is highlighted.

2,394 schools plotted. 142 additional schools' rates are federally suppressed and not shown. Data: EDFacts SY 2020-21.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
