Summary:
Buckeye Union Elementary has two middle schools, Rolling Hills Middle and Camerado Springs Middle, and both serve grades 6–8. In 2025–2026, students at both schools were more likely than students statewide to score proficient in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. Their strongest shared result was science, where both schools scored about 70%, compared with 36% statewide; the clearest difference between the schools was in math.
Rolling Hills leads in ELA and math: about 76% of students scored proficient in ELA and 70% in math, compared with 67% and 53% at Camerado Springs. That is a 9-point ELA gap and a 17-point math gap. Both schools are well above state results in those subjects. Science is the exception: both round to 70%, with Camerado Springs narrowly ahead. SchoolDigger ranks Rolling Hills 143rd of 2,703 California middle schools (95th percentile, 5 stars) and Camerado Springs 366th (86th percentile, 4 stars). ELA results also come closer by eighth grade: Rolling Hills leads by about 2 points, while the math gap remains about 15 points.
Recent trends favor science: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, science proficiency rose about 5 points at Rolling Hills and 11 points at Camerado Springs. Math declined at both—about 1 point and 5 points, respectively—and the two-school lead over the state narrowed by 4 points. ELA moved in different directions, falling about 2 points at Rolling Hills and rising about 2 at Camerado Springs. School context measures differ too: in 2024–2025, student-teacher ratios were 20.5 and 21.1, and free/reduced lunch eligible rates were 10% and 21%, respectively. These figures describe the schools but do not establish why results differ; the supplied score history covers two years.
