Public, Charter Grades 5-8

of 2,740 California Middle Schools

Better than 21% of California middle schools

Summary

Bert Corona Charter is a public charter middle school serving 345 students in grades 5-8 in Pacoima, CA, operating within the Bert Corona Charter District, which faces significant challenges ranking in the bottom 6% of districts statewide.

Academically, the school struggles with proficiency rates well below state averages, particularly in math where only about 10% of students are proficient. Compared to nearby schools like Pacoima Middle and Richard E. Byrd Middle, which serve similar student populations, Bert Corona Charter has the lowest academic performance in the area. However, the school does show a relative strength in managing chronic absenteeism, with a rate lower than several peers and improving over time.

Notably, the school spends less per student than most nearby schools, yet higher spending at schools like Charles Maclay Middle does not guarantee better results, suggesting other factors are at play. Performance varies greatly by grade, with 7th grade English scores nearing the state average while other grades lag far behind. The school shows some promising improvement with English Language Learner students, and its attendance management could be a foundation for building academic progress.
