Summary

Loma Vista Middle serves 1,027 students in grades 6–8 in Riverside, within Alvord Unified; the nearby comparison group includes ten middle and intermediate schools. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates in English language arts (ELA), math and science were below state and district rates. The main concern is math: proficiency has improved, but it remains 15 percentage points below the state.

Among nearby schools, Loma Vista’s all-grade test results are around the middle: it ranks sixth of 11 in ELA and math and fifth in science. Its ELA rate was 37%, compared with 39% in the district and 49% statewide; this is its smallest gap to the district among the three subjects. Math was 23% (district 26%, state 38%), and science was 24% (district 27%, state 36%). One bright spot is grade 8 CSA Spanish: Reading was 22%, versus 14% statewide. SchoolDigger gives Loma Vista 2 stars and a 33rd-percentile statewide standing for 2025–26, placing it toward the lower end of its nearby group.

Math proficiency rose from 15% in 2022–23 to 23% in 2025–26, narrowing its state gap from 20 to 15 points. ELA improved slightly, from 35% to 37%, while its state gap widened from 11 to 12 points. Science rebounded from 16% in 2024–25 to 24%, but its gap to the state grew over the full period, from 3 to 12 points. Attendance is a positive counterpoint: chronic absenteeism fell from 38% in 2021–22 to 16% in 2025–26, below the district’s 19% and the state’s 18%. The school’s student-teacher ratio was 21.7 in 2024–25, and 89% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s standing for serving students in special education fell to the 17th percentile in 2025–26, from the 46th percentile the year before; its overall standing was at the 33rd percentile. Its standing for serving English Language Learner students rose to the 44th percentile in 2023–24, up from the 19th percentile the year before.
