Summary

Magnolia Junior High serves 541 students in grades 7–8 in Chino, California, as part of Chino Valley Unified. The clearest concern for families is that, while English language arts is close to the state average, math and science proficiency remain notably lower than state and district results.

English language arts is Magnolia’s strongest subject compared with the state, district and nearby schools: 49% of students were proficient, close to 49% statewide and below the district’s 63% and the nearby-school average of 53%. Math proficiency was 30%, compared with 38% statewide, 51% in the district and a 36% nearby average. Science was 27%, versus 36% statewide, 45% in the district and a 35% nearby average. Among the eight nearby schools serving grades 7–8, Magnolia was in the middle in all three subjects, with four schools scoring higher and four lower in each. Chronic absenteeism has improved but remains a concern: it fell from 35% in 2021–22 to 19% in 2025–26, still above the state’s 18% and the district’s 14%.

Results have risen over the four years reported, especially recently: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, proficiency increased 8 percentage points in English language arts, 6 in math and 4 in science. The latest year brought gains of 9 points in English language arts, 5 in math and 5 in science. SchoolDigger ranked Magnolia 1,325th of 2,703 California schools in 2025–26, at the 51st percentile with 3 stars, up from the 40th percentile and 2 stars the prior year. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 19:1, and 83% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s ranking for Asian Students was at the 26th percentile (rank 570 of 769), below the school’s overall percentile; its Special Education Students ranking rose from the 10th percentile in 2024–25 to the 37th percentile in 2025–26 (rank 1,006 of 1,586), a notable improvement that still places the group below the school overall.
