Summary

Park Middle serves 1,055 students in grades 6–8 in Antioch, California, as part of Antioch Unified. Its latest results show low proficiency in English language arts (ELA) and math, as well as high chronic absenteeism: 33% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, compared with 31% districtwide and 18% statewide. The most important concern is that ELA and math proficiency lag both district and state benchmarks.

Science is Park Middle’s relative strength, while ELA and math are among its weakest local results. In 2025–2026, science proficiency was 23%, 5 percentage points above the district and 1 point above the nearby-school average; Park ranked third-highest among 11 nearby schools. ELA proficiency was 20%, 8 points below the district, 29 below the state, and 15 below the nearby average, making it second-lowest locally. Math proficiency was 12%, 3 points below the district, 26 below the state, and 7 below the nearby average; it ranked third-lowest. Only Antioch Middle had a higher chronic absenteeism rate among nearby schools.

Across the four years from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, science proficiency rose by 8 percentage points, while math increased by 2 and ELA fell by 3. Despite science’s improvement, its state gap narrowed by just 2 points; the state gaps for ELA and math widened by 6 and 2 points. SchoolDigger placed Park at the 10th percentile with 0 stars in 2025–2026, the third-lowest local percentile. Its student-teacher ratio was 22.2 in 2024–2025, close to the nearby average of 22.3, and 89% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is that its statewide ranking for how well it serves Special Education Students fell from the 29th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 8th percentile in 2025–2026, a 21-point drop.
