Summary

Goddard Middle is a high-performing public school serving 728 students in grades 6-8 within the Glendora Unified School District, consistently ranking among the top 12% of all California middle schools for over a decade.

The school excels academically, with student proficiency rates significantly higher than both the state average and most nearby schools, including its district counterpart, Sandburg Middle. A standout feature is its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 7.4%, which is less than half the state average and indicates a strong, engaged school community. Furthermore, Goddard achieves these excellent results while spending less per student than many comparable schools in the area.

Goddard Middle is particularly effective in supporting all students, with exceptional statewide rankings for student subgroups including those in special education and from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. While schools like Ramona Middle in Bonita Unified may show slightly higher test scores, Goddard maintains comparable excellence while serving a more diverse student population. For families, this combination of strong, consistent academic performance, high student attendance, and effective support systems makes it a standout choice in the region.
