Summary:
El Segundo Unified serves middle school students with a single, highly-regarded school, El Segundo Middle, which educates about 800 students in grades 6-8 within an affluent coastal community.
This school is a standout performer, consistently ranking in the top 8% of all California middle schools for the last three years. Students achieve proficiency rates far above state averages, with nearly 79% proficient in English and 70% in math, and they show impressive growth, with 8th graders outperforming 6th graders in core subjects. A key strength is student engagement, reflected in an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 3.7%, which is a fraction of the state average.
Operating within the high-achieving El Segundo Unified district, the school benefits from strong district-wide support and curriculum alignment. While excelling overall, science scores, though still above average, are relatively lower than English and math, presenting a focused area for potential growth. For parents, El Segundo Middle represents a stable, high-quality educational environment with a proven track record of academic success and student support.
