Summary

Vineyard Junior High is a public school in Alta Loma serving 933 students in grades 6–8, in a community served by the Alta Loma Elementary district. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were 70% in English language arts (ELA), 49% in math and 53% in science. The most important takeaway is that Vineyard scored above California’s proficiency rate in all three subjects.

ELA and science are Vineyard’s strongest subjects compared with nearby schools serving the same grades: it ranked second among seven schools in both, while its 49% math proficiency ranked third. Its ELA result was 21 percentage points above the state and 3 points above the district; science was 17 points above the state and 3 above the district. Math was 11 points above the state, but 4 below the district, making it the clearest relative weakness. Seventh grade is a softer spot within the school: math proficiency was 42%, 3 points below the district, while sixth and eighth grade were above their district comparisons.

Science has made the strongest recent progress, rising 8 percentage points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, though most of that gain came in the latest year; ELA fell 2 points over the same period, and math rose 5. SchoolDigger ranks Vineyard in the 84th percentile statewide with 4 stars, tied for second among ten nearby schools; Day Creek Intermediate leads at the 97th percentile. Vineyard’s student-teacher ratio was 25.4 in 2024–25, the highest locally, tied with Etiwanda Intermediate. In that year, 41% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a 53% average among nearby schools; these are contextual measures, not explanations for test results. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 statewide ranking for how well Vineyard serves Asian students was at the 58th percentile, below its overall 84th, though it rose from the 44th percentile the prior year. Its ranking for Special Education Students was at the 74th percentile, down from the 91st percentile in 2023–24.
