Summary

Sequoia Middle serves 791 students in grades 7–8 in Fontana, within Fontana Unified. For 2025–2026, SchoolDigger places the school at the 27th percentile statewide and gives it one star, below the district’s 32nd-percentile standing. The most important takeaway is that Sequoia’s proficiency rates are below state rates in all three subjects, with math showing the largest gap.

ELA is Sequoia’s strongest subject relative to nearby schools, the district and the state: 39% of students were proficient, compared with 41% in the district and 49% statewide. Its rate was about 3 points below the nearby-school average of 42%, placing it around the middle of the 10 schools. Math is the clearest weakness: 18% were proficient, 20 points below the state, 8 below the district and 10 below the nearby average of 28%. Science proficiency was 17%, 19 points below the state and 8 below both the district and the nearby average. Sequoia ranked near the bottom of the nearby group in math and science. These all-grades comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like because most nearby schools also serve grade 6.

Scores have risen since 2022–2023, but the school’s relative standing has not improved: ELA increased by 1 point, math by 4 and science by 3, while the state gap widened in ELA and science and stayed about the same in math. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile fell from 34 in 2023–2024 to 27 in 2025–2026. Context includes a student–teacher ratio of 21.2 in 2024–2025 and 94% of students free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the highest share among nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings show stronger relative standing for English Language Learner students, at the 51st percentile in 2023–2024 versus 34th overall, and Special Education students, at the 42nd percentile in 2025–2026 versus 27th overall. Chronic absenteeism has improved, dropping from 35% in 2021–2022 to 21% in 2025–2026, but remains above the state’s 18% and the district’s 20%.
