Summary:

Pierce Joint Unified has one middle school, Lloyd G. Johnson Junior High, serving grades 6–8. In 2025–2026, the school’s proficiency was 33% in English language arts (ELA), 24% in mathematics and 25% in science; each result was below both the district and California. Compared with the state, the school was behind by 16 points in ELA, 14 points in mathematics and 11 points in science; compared with the district, it was behind by 3, 2 and 2 points, respectively. The most important finding is that results fell in all three subjects over the latest year while state results rose, widening the school’s gap to California.

There is no meaningful top-versus-bottom school comparison because Lloyd G. Johnson is the only middle school in the list. Within the school, however, grade 7 stands out: it was just 1 point below the state in ELA and 2 points below in mathematics in 2025–2026. Grade 8 ELA is the clearest concern, 26 points below the state; grade 6 ELA was 18 points below. These grade-level differences show why the all-grade results alone may not reflect every family’s experience. Science was the school’s closest subject to the state overall, with an 11-point gap, even though ELA had the highest school proficiency rate.

The two-year trend was broadly downward: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the school’s proficiency fell by 8 points in ELA, 7 in mathematics and 7 in science, while state results increased or were nearly unchanged. The school-state gaps widened by 8 points in ELA, 8 in mathematics and 10 in science. SchoolDigger’s ranking also dropped, from the 55th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 33rd in 2025–2026. As context, the school enrolled 321 students and had a 19.6:1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025; 73% were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. In 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism was 14%, below the state’s 18% but slightly above the district’s 13%. These figures describe the school, but with only one middle school in the area they cannot show how it compares with similar local schools.
