Summary

Hillview Middle is a public middle school located in Whittier, CA, serving 629 students in grades 6-8. It is part of the East Whittier City Elementary District, which is ranked 363 out of 1565 districts in California and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Hillview Middle has seen some improvement in its overall ranking over the years, the school faces challenges compared to nearby middle schools. Its test scores in English Language Arts (56.46% proficiency) and Math (36.1% proficiency) are generally lower than the district and state averages. Hillview Middle also has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.1% to 24.9% in recent years. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 78.28% to 79.83% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

However, Hillview Middle has shown some bright spots, with its Hispanic and Low Socioeconomic Status students performing relatively well, ranking in the top 50% of California middle schools in these subgroups. The school's spending per student has also increased from $14,855 in 2021-2022 to $18,944 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. Continued focus on addressing the needs of its diverse student population and learning from the successes of nearby higher-performing schools, such as East Whittier Middle and Granada Middle, could help Hillview Middle continue to improve.
