Summary

Tetzlaff (Martin B.) Middle serves 542 students in grades 7–8 in Cerritos, an area with several nearby middle-school options. In 2025–2026, SchoolDigger ranked it 346th of 2,703 California schools, at the 87th percentile with four stars; ABC Unified received four stars and ranked at the 74th percentile. The clearest academic concern for families to explore is eighth-grade math: 47% of students met the standard, below the district’s 52%, although above the state’s 36%.

Overall, the school’s strongest comparative result is science, while math is its relative weakness. In the latest results, 57% met the science standard, compared with 49% in the district and 36% statewide; ELA results were 70%, versus 64% in the district and 49% statewide. Math was 53%—well above the state’s 38% but essentially level with the district’s 53%. Among seven nearby schools serving only grades 7–8, Tetzlaff ranked second in all three subjects, behind Carmenita Middle. Its seventh-grade math result was stronger at 60%, but eighth-grade math fell to 47%; across all ten nearby schools, that eighth-grade score ranked sixth of eleven including Tetzlaff.

Results have improved since 2022–2023: ELA rose 3 percentage points, math 8 points and science 13 points, though the pattern was not steady year to year. Tetzlaff’s student-teacher ratio is 23.1, slightly below the nearby-school average of 23.5. Its reported measure was 54% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, close to the nearby average of 56%; these figures are context, not explanations for achievement. Chronic absenteeism was 14% in 2025–2026, below the state’s 18% but above the district’s 12%. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup rankings also show areas to ask about: English Language Learner Students ranked at the 15th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s overall 89th percentile that year. White Students ranked at the 63rd percentile in 2025–2026, up 23 percentile points from the prior year but below the school’s overall 87th percentile.
