Summary

Royal Oak Middle serves 610 students in grades 7–8 in Covina, California, as part of Charter Oak Unified. In 2025–26, its English language arts (ELA) and math proficiency rates were above California’s, while science was slightly below the state. The most important takeaway is that science is a distinct area of weakness: Royal Oak was below the state and ranked near the bottom among nearby schools in that subject.

Royal Oak is strongest in ELA and math compared with the state and nearby schools, but its science results lag. In 2025–26, 58% of students met the ELA standard and 47% met the math standard, about 8 percentage points above California in each subject; science proficiency was 35%, 1 point below the state. Compared with the district, Royal Oak was 5 points higher in ELA and math, and slightly higher in science. Among 11 nearby schools, it ranked 4th in ELA, 5th in math and 8th in science; nearby-school averages were 56%, 43% and 40%, respectively.

Results improved in all three subjects in 2025–26: ELA rose 6 percentage points, math 5 and science 6 from the previous year. Still, over the four years through 2025–26, science fell from being 1 point above California to 1 point below it, unlike ELA and math, whose advantages widened. SchoolDigger’s statewide rating rose from 3 stars and the 67th percentile in 2024–25 to 4 stars and the 72nd percentile in 2025–26. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 21.0, the second-lowest among nearby schools, and 74% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; California is flagged as a statewide free-meals state, so this measure does not indicate whether students can access free meals. SchoolDigger ranked Homeless Students at the 95th percentile in 2025–26, a notably high relative standing. Its Special Education Students ranking was lower, at the 45th percentile, down from the 66th percentile in 2023–24.
