Middle Schools in Susanville Elementary

Susanville Elementary district contains one middle school, Diamond View Middle, serving grades 6-8 in a high-need area where a significant majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academic performance at Diamond View Middle shows a mixed picture, with English Language Arts skills improving notably from 6th to 8th grade, reaching close to the state average, while mathematics proficiency declines over the same period to a rate well below the state average. Science proficiency is also below average. The school's performance is very similar to the overall Susanville Elementary district averages, indicating shared educational trends across the area.

Key challenges for the school include a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the state average and a relatively high student-to-teacher ratio, both of which can impact learning. Despite these challenges, the consistent improvement in reading and writing across grade levels is a notable strength. For parents, this suggests a school environment that is effectively building literacy but may require additional support or focus in upper-level math and science instruction.
