Summary:

Montebello Unified has six middle schools, all serving grades 6–8, with 2025–2026 results that vary considerably from school to school. As a group, they averaged 37% proficient in English language arts, 23% in mathematics and 22% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important takeaway is that the group average hides a clear standout: one school led all three subjects, while the other five were below the state in English and math.

Macy Intermediate was the strongest performer, with 55% proficient in English, 39% in math and 33% in science—leading the next-highest school by 16, 20 and 11 percentage points, respectively. Its English and math results were also above the state by 6 and 1 point; no school exceeded the state in science. At the other end, Suva Intermediate had the lowest results in all three subjects: 25% in English, 18% in math and 13% in science. SchoolDigger placed Macy at the 66th percentile, while the other five schools fell between the 15th and 33rd percentiles.

Results changed unevenly from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: the six-school average fell by 1 percentage point in English, was essentially flat in math, and rose by 2 points in science. Montebello Intermediate improved in all three subjects, while La Merced Intermediate gained 8 points in science but dipped in math. Context measures also differ: the reported free/reduced lunch eligible shares for 2024–2025 ranged from 76% at Macy to 94% at Suva. Macy and Eastmont Intermediate were similar in enrollment—576 and 562 students—and student-teacher ratios—21.2 and 21.7—yet their results differed substantially. Chronic absenteeism ranged from 6% at Macy to 24% at La Merced, while Suva had lower absenteeism than the district and state but the lowest scores.
