Summary

Coronado Middle is a top-performing public middle school serving about 660 students in grades 6-8 within the highly-ranked Coronado Unified School District.

The school consistently earns high marks, with student test scores in English, Math, and Science significantly above state averages. This academic excellence is stable, with the school maintaining a 4 or 5-star rating for over a decade. A key factor in this success is the school's very low rate of chronic absenteeism, which is about half the state average and contributes to a strong learning environment. Notably, the school achieves these outstanding results while spending less per student than many neighboring schools, demonstrating efficient use of resources.

When compared to other middle schools in the broader San Diego area, such as Millennial Technical Middle, Correia Middle, and Knox Middle, Coronado Middle's proficiency rates are dramatically higher. The school also shows exceptional support for specific student groups, with military-connected, Hispanic, and special education students historically ranking in the top percentiles statewide. While its performance is part of a district-wide culture of excellence, Coronado Middle stands out for its remarkable consistency and effectiveness across nearly all measures.
