Summary

Mission Middle is a public school in Jurupa Valley, part of Jurupa Unified, serving 612 students in grades 7–8. Its clearest challenge is low achievement in English language arts and math: in 2025–2026, 26% of students met proficiency standards in ELA and 12% in math, compared with 49% and 38% statewide. Most importantly, its ELA and math results were below every nearby school serving only grades 7–8.

Science is the school’s relative strength, though its results remain below the state and nearby-school averages. About 17% of students were proficient in science, compared with 36% statewide and a 21% average among nearby 7–8 schools; the science gap with the district was only 1 point. By comparison, ELA and math were 6 and 9 points below district results. Seventh grade is a particular concern: Mission’s ELA proficiency was 21.3%, below nearby schools’ 25.76%–48.24% range, and its math proficiency was 10.1%, below their 16.07%–32.13% range. Chronic absenteeism is also high: 27% in 2025–2026, the highest among Mission and the 10 nearby schools, whose rates ranged from 13.6% to 23.8%.

Scores have improved in math and science since 2022–2023, but not enough to close the state gaps: math rose by 3 points and science by 6, while ELA was nearly flat. Science’s state gap narrowed slightly; ELA’s widened by 2 points, and math’s widened only slightly. Absenteeism fell by 13 points from 2021–2022, but remains 9 points above the state. SchoolDigger placed Mission at the 11th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, the lowest percentile among the nearby schools, and gave it one star. Its student-teacher ratio was 20.0 in 2024–2025, lower than eight nearby schools’ ratios, while 88% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s English Language Learner subgroup ranking was notably higher than the overall ranking in 2023–2024: 26th percentile versus 10th, though the difference was not consistent across years.
