Summary:
This analysis examines the two middle schools (grades 6-8) within the Beaumont Unified School District, revealing one school as a stronger performer despite some resource advantages at the other.
San Gorgonio Middle stands out with better academic results, particularly in English and Science, a lower rate of chronic student absenteeism, and a higher statewide ranking compared to Mountain View Middle. Interestingly, Mountain View Middle operates with a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, yet it shows lower proficiency rates and a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate, which is above the state average.
Both schools face a shared challenge in mathematics, where student proficiency lags behind the state average. Parents should note that while San Gorgonio Middle is the stronger performer in this direct comparison, both schools currently perform below the overall Beaumont Unified district averages in core subjects, indicating that other schools in the district are contributing to higher scores. The consistent improvement in ranking at San Gorgonio Middle over recent years is a positive trend for that community.
