Summary

Sierra Vista Middle is a public school serving about 270 students in grades 6-8 within the Hacienda la Puente Unified district in La Puente, CA.

The school faces significant challenges, particularly with student attendance, as its chronic absenteeism rate of 33% is much higher than the district average and is the highest among all nearby middle schools, including Sparks Middle (24.1%) in the same district and Hollencrest Middle (10.9%) in West Covina Unified.
