Summary

Gladstone Middle is a public school serving 1,326 students in grades 6-8 in Covina, California, and is part of the Azusa Unified School District.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with student proficiency in English, Math, and Science falling well below state averages and ranking in the bottom third of California middle schools. A notable concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 23.7%, which is higher than the state average and the highest among nearby schools like Hollencrest Middle (10.9%) and Sandburg Middle (12.7%). The school serves a population where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need.

Despite spending more per student than several neighboring schools, Gladstone Middle's academic results are lower. For example, it spends $22,128 per student compared to Sandburg Middle's $16,790, yet Sandburg's proficiency rates are nearly double. The school is located very close to higher-performing schools such as Las Palmas Middle and Sierra Vista Middle, which are in different districts like Covina-Valley Unified that rank significantly higher overall.
