Summary

Sierra Vista Middle serves 709 students in grades 6–8 in Baldwin Park, California, as part of Baldwin Park Unified. Its results are stronger than its district’s in English language arts (ELA), math and science, but California’s proficiency rates are higher in all three subjects. The most important takeaway is that the school is outperforming its district, yet still trails the state across every reported subject.

Math and science are the school’s clearest local strengths: among seven nearby schools serving grades 6–8, Sierra Vista ranks third in both, with proficiency of 31% in math and 30% in science—4 and 3 percentage points above those schools’ averages. Its ELA result is 41%, 1 point below the nearby average, ranking fourth. Sierra Vista exceeds its district by 1 point in ELA, 3 in math and 3 in science, while remaining below state results by 8, 7 and 6 points, respectively. Grade 7 ELA stands out as a weakness: 35% proficiency ranks sixth of the seven schools and is 16 points below the state. By contrast, grade 8 math is a bright spot at 36%, nearly matching the state’s 36% and ranking second locally.

Science has improved from 22% in 2022–2023 to 30% in 2025–2026, while math has slipped from 33% to 31% and ELA has edged up from 40% to 41%; meanwhile, chronic absenteeism fell from 34% in 2021–2022 to 11%, below the district and state rates of 18%. SchoolDigger places Sierra Vista at the 47th statewide percentile with 2 stars, down from the 59th percentile in 2021–2022; nearby Las Palmas Middle is at the 68th percentile. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio is 19.7, close to the nearby average of 19.6. Its free/reduced lunch eligible share was 91% in 2024–2025, above the nearby average of 87%. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Homeless Students fell from 86 in 2023–2024 to 9 in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall 47th percentile that year; its percentile for English Language Learner Students rose from 36 in 2022–2023 to 69 in 2023–2024, above the overall 50th percentile then, with no later ELL ranking supplied. Subgroup sample sizes are not provided, so these rankings do not show how many students they represent.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, September 20, 2012

What a horrible school. The students there lack discipline and are some of the worst bullies ever. My daughter is constantly harassed by some of the female students and the parents are worse! They encourage this bad behavior and could care less if their kids hurt other kids. The staff attempts to help with no avail. My daughter's education is suffering and the actions the staff takes to help is minimal. Please be careful if you plan to enroll you student here. Close Quote
