SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 2,740 California Middle Schools

Better than 24% of California middle schools

Summary

Gladstone Middle serves 1,326 students in grades 6–8 in Covina, California, as part of Azusa Unified. SchoolDigger ranks it 2,043rd of 2,703 California schools, at the 24th percentile with 1 star. The main concern is that 2025–26 proficiency was below the state in every reported subject: 31% in ELA, 20% in math and 23% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%.

Gladstone trails nearby schools serving the same grades in all three subjects: its results were 19 points below their average in ELA, 16 points below in math and 11 points below in science. ELA has the widest gap against those peers; math is weakest against the district and state, with gaps of 5 and 18 points, respectively. Science is a relative strength compared with the district: Gladstone scored 2 points higher, while ELA was 2 points lower and math 5 points lower. Still, science was 13 points below the state and 11 points below nearby schools’ average.

Results have changed unevenly since 2022–23: ELA fell 15 points, from 46% to 31%, while math gained 6 points and science gained 4. The ELA gap with the state widened by 18 points; math’s gap narrowed by 2, while science’s widened by 2. The overall SchoolDigger percentile has stayed low and fairly steady—25th in 2023–24, 27th in 2024–25 and 24th in 2025–26—with 1 star each year. In 2024–25, the student-teacher ratio was 22.3, compared with a nearby-school average of 20.9, and 91% of students were free/reduced-lunch eligible. Chronic absenteeism was also high in 2025–26: 28%, versus 18% statewide and 27% in the district. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves White students was notably higher than its overall standing, at the 47th percentile; its ranking for serving Military Connected Students was lower, at the 6th percentile.
