Summary

Antioch Middle serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 665 students in Antioch, California, within Antioch Unified. A key concern for families is attendance: 43% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, compared with 31% districtwide and 18% statewide. Academically, Antioch had the lowest nearby-school results in ELA and math and the second-lowest in science, making its low proficiency the school’s most important distinction.

Science is Antioch’s strongest subject relative to the state and district, while ELA is its weakest against those benchmarks; math has the lowest proficiency overall. In 2025–2026, 12% of students were proficient in ELA, 6% in math and 10% in science—respectively 38, 32 and 26 percentage points below the state, and 16, 9 and 7 points below Antioch Unified. Nearby-school averages were 35% in ELA, 20% in math and 23% in science. The next-lowest ELA result was 20% at Park Middle; in math, it was 8% at Black Diamond Middle. In science, Antioch’s 10% was just below the 11% at Martin Luther King Junior Junior High.

Scores have improved modestly since 2022–2023: ELA rose about 1 point, math about 1 point and science about 5 points. However, state proficiency also rose, so Antioch’s gaps to the state widened in all three subjects. Chronic absenteeism is down about 7 points from 2021–2022, but rose from 39% in 2024–2025 to 43% in the latest year. SchoolDigger ranks Antioch in the 2nd percentile statewide for 2025–2026, 2,646th of 2,703 schools, with 0 stars. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 21.5, and 94% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year—the highest reported comparable rate among nearby schools.
