Summary

Orange Grove Middle serves 287 students in grades 6–8 in Hacienda Heights, within Hacienda la Puente Unified. The most important academic concern is math: in 2025–26, 26% of students met the standard, 12 percentage points below the state and 14 below the district.

Compared with 10 nearby schools, Orange Grove is strongest in ELA: it ranks fourth and is 3 points above the nearby average. It ranks third in math, essentially at the local average, and sixth in science, 4 points below the local average. ELA is also its strongest subject against the state and district, with results 4 and 5 points lower; science is 10 and 9 points lower. Math has the widest gaps: 12 points below the state and 14 below the district. So while math is the clearest statewide and district concern, science is the school’s weakest result relative to nearby schools.

Scores have improved from 2022–23 to 2025–26: ELA rose 5 points, math 7 points and science 5 points, although science’s state gap widened slightly. Chronic absenteeism remains high and has recently increased: it was 24% in 2025–26, 6 points above the state and 7 above the district, after rising from 20% in 2023–24. SchoolDigger ranks the school 1,478th of 2,703, at the 45th percentile, with 2 stars. Its student-teacher ratio was 21:1 in 2024–25; that year, 83% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, while California provided free school meals to all students. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking places Special Education Students at the 27th percentile in 2025–26, below the school overall at the 45th percentile, but up from the 4th percentile in 2023–24. For English Language Learner Students, the ranking fell from the 86th percentile in 2021–22 to the 34th in 2023–24. These group rankings are statewide effectiveness ratings, not direct test-score comparisons; group sizes were not provided.
