Summary

Middletown High in Middletown, California, serves 421 students in grades 9–12. Its most important distinction is a pronounced split across subjects: 2025–2026 English language arts (ELA) proficiency was strong, while math proficiency was low and science results had fallen.

ELA is the school’s clear strength: 70% of students were proficient, the highest result among nearby schools with reported scores, including 65% at Healdsburg High and 59% at Windsor High. Middletown was 21 percentage points above California and 22 above Middletown Unified. Math was much weaker: 15% proficiency was 23 points below the state and 20 below the district. Among nearby schools with reported results, Middletown scored above only Lower Lake High and Carle (William C.) High. Science proficiency was 25%, 11 points below the state and 1 point below the district.

Over the longer term, results improved in all three subjects: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 26 percentage points, math 7, and science 10. But the latest year brought declines: ELA fell 3 points, math 9, and science 11. SchoolDigger placed Middletown at the 51st statewide percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, down 19 percentile points from the prior year; the district was at the 61st percentile with 3 stars. In 2024–2025, the school had 18.3 students per teacher, and 55% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch, the third-lowest rate among nearby schools with the same measure and year. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness rankings also put Special Education Students at the 25th percentile, 26 points below the school’s overall standing; its ranking for Hispanic Students fell from the 79th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 42nd in 2025–2026. Some nearby schools have suppressed test results, and comparisons may involve schools serving different grade spans.
