137^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 2,740 California Middle Schools

Better than 95% of California middle schools

Summary

Oak Middle serves 998 students in grades 6–8 in Los Alamitos, California. Its 2025–26 proficiency results are strong in English language arts (ELA), math and science, and chronic absenteeism is low: 5%, compared with 7% in the district and 18% statewide. The clearest takeaway is that Oak had the highest all-grades proficiency in all three subjects among nearby schools that also serve grades 6–8.

Science is Oak’s strongest result, while math is its relative weak spot compared with the district. Oak scored 79% in ELA, 67% in math and 78% in science; the averages for the four nearby schools with the same grade span were 68%, 57% and 47%, respectively. Compared with Los Alamitos Unified, Oak was 2 percentage points higher in ELA and 15 points higher in science, but 2 points lower in math. It was well above California in every subject, by 29 points in ELA, 29 in math and 42 in science. So Oak’s results are strong across the board, though math is where its advantage over the district is least secure.

Over four years, math rose by 5 percentage points and science by 9, while ELA was nearly unchanged; ELA has also eased from its 2023–24 peak. SchoolDigger ranks Oak in the 95th percentile statewide, with 5 stars, and its overall percentile has stayed between 94 and 97 in the reported years. One notable difference is SchoolDigger’s statewide standing for Military Connected Students: the school was at the 72nd percentile in 2025–26, down from the 88th percentile in 2023–24 and below its 95th-percentile overall standing. Oak’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 26.2, compared with a nearby-school average of 23.3. Its reported free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 15% in 2024–25, the lowest among the nearby schools.
