Summary

East Avenue Middle serves 581 students in grades 6–8 in Livermore, California, and has the smallest enrollment among the 10 nearby middle schools in this comparison. In 2025–2026, its proficiency rates were above California’s but below those of the Livermore Valley Joint Unified district in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The most important takeaway is that its results were at or near the bottom compared with nearby schools, especially in math.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject relative to local peers, while math is its weakest. In 2025–2026, East Avenue’s proficiency was 58% in ELA, 43% in math, and 39% in science; state rates were 49%, 38%, and 36%, while district rates were 61%, 52%, and 47%. Nearby schools averaged 78% in ELA, 71% in math, and 64% in science, putting East Avenue 19, 28, and 24 percentage points below those averages, respectively. It had the lowest ELA and math results among the nearby schools; only Wells Middle had a lower science result.

Results improved modestly over four years: ELA was about 58% at both endpoints, math rose from 40% to 43%, and science from 38% to 39%. But California’s rates rose faster, narrowing East Avenue’s lead over the state from 11 to 9 points in ELA, 6 to 5 in math, and 7 to 3 in science. SchoolDigger placed East Avenue at the 73rd percentile and rated it 4 stars in 2025–2026; every nearby school ranked higher, from the 82nd to the 99th percentile.
