Summary

Wilmington Mid Sci Technical Engr Arts Math (STEAM) Magnet serves 1,121 students in grades 6–8 in Wilmington, California. Its latest results show substantial improvement, but the school’s proficiency remains below state and district levels, and it ranks near the bottom of 11 nearby middle schools in all three tested subjects. The most important finding for families is that progress has not yet closed the school’s academic gap with local alternatives, especially in math and science.

ELA is STEAM’s strongest subject relative to its comparisons: 46% of students were proficient in 2025–26, about 2 percentage points below Los Angeles Unified and 3 below the state. Math proficiency was 34%, 6 points below the district and 4 below the state; science was 26%, 6 points below the district and 10 below the state. Against the 10 nearby schools, STEAM was 7 points below their average in ELA, 11 below in math and 11 below in science. It ranked 9th of 11 in ELA, 10th in math and 9th in science. The school’s 25% chronic absenteeism rate was also the third-highest among the 11 schools.

Results have improved over four years: proficiency rose by 19 percentage points in ELA, 9 in math and 17 in science, while gaps with state results narrowed in all three subjects. SchoolDigger rated STEAM at the 53rd percentile and 3 stars in 2025–26, up from the 33rd percentile in 2022–23, though it was only 8th among the nearby schools by percentile. Its student-teacher ratio was 17.8 in 2024–25, the third-lowest locally; 95% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the highest rate among nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Hispanic Students was at the 70th percentile in 2025–26, versus 53rd overall; its ranking for English Language Learner Students rose from the 3rd percentile in 2022–23 to the 44th in 2023–24. These group rankings are not proficiency rates.
