Summary

Sierra Vista Middle serves 270 students in grades 6–8 in La Puente, within the Hacienda la Puente Unified district. Its results are mixed: science is a clear strength, while English language arts (ELA) is a persistent academic weakness. The most urgent concern is chronic absenteeism: 29% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, compared with 18% statewide and 17% in the district.

Science is Sierra Vista’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools: 43% of students were proficient, above the state’s 36% and the district’s 35%, and the highest result among the 11 schools compared. Math ranked third among those schools, with 28% proficiency, but remained below the state at 38% and the district at 40%. ELA is the weakest area: 37% proficiency was below the state’s 49%, the district’s 51%, and the nearby-school average of 42%; Sierra Vista ranked eighth among the 11 schools. Eighth grade is a bright spot—its ELA result was 49%, second-highest among schools reporting that grade, and its math result was 37%, the highest among those schools—but sixth- and seventh-grade results were notably weaker.

Results show some improvement, but not across the board: math rose from 12% proficiency in 2022–2023 to 28% in 2025–2026, while ELA stayed near 37% and its gap with the state widened. Chronic absenteeism has also improved from 47% in 2021–2022, though it remains the highest among nearby schools. SchoolDigger ranked Sierra Vista in the 46th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, up from the 36th percentile in 2023–2024; it received 2 stars. Its student-teacher ratio was 20.7, close to the nearby-school average of 20.8. In 2024–2025, 80% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the second-lowest share among the 11 schools. One subgroup ranking stands out: SchoolDigger placed the school at the 8th percentile for Special Education Students in 2025–2026, compared with its overall 46th percentile, indicating a substantially weaker ranking for how well it serves this group.
