Summary

Coronado Middle serves 660 students in grades 6–8 in Coronado, California. Its 2025–2026 results are strong across English language arts (ELA), math, and science. Most importantly, it led nearby schools on all three reported all-grades subjects and scored above California’s rates, though it remained below its own district.

Compared with nearby schools, Coronado had the highest all-grades proficiency rates: 68% in ELA, 56% in math, and 55% in science. Its leads over the closest nearby results were 2 points in ELA, 3 in math, and 1 in science. It also exceeded state rates by 19 points in ELA, 17 in math, and 19 in science. The comparison changes against Coronado Unified: Coronado Middle was lower by 4 points in ELA, 6 in math, and 5 in science. Eighth-grade math is a particular strength: its 60% rate led nearby same-grade results by 21 points over Correia Middle. Sixth-grade math is a relative local soft spot: Coronado’s 53% was 1 point below Dana.

Results have softened overall since 2022–2023: ELA fell 6 points and math fell 6, while science rose 2; Coronado’s leads over the state narrowed in all three subjects. SchoolDigger gives the school four stars and ranks it in the 87th statewide percentile, down from the 92nd percentile in 2022–2023; the district is at the 94th percentile with five stars. Contextual measures are favorable but do not explain test results: the student-teacher ratio was 19.4 in 2024–2025, below the nearby-school average of 21, and 15% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 7% in 2025–2026, down 5 points from the prior year and below the district’s 9% and state’s 18%. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves Multi-racial Students places the group at the 61st percentile, notably below the school’s overall 87th percentile.
