Summary

Joaquin Moraga Intermediate is a top-ranked middle school serving 658 students in grades 6-8 within the highly-regarded Moraga Elementary district, consistently performing in the top 3% of all California schools.

The school excels academically, with over 83% of students proficient in English and nearly 73% proficient in Math, far exceeding state averages, and maintains an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.6%. It is particularly effective in supporting all students, with its Hispanic, multi-racial, special education, and economically disadvantaged student groups ranking in the 91st to 99th percentile statewide. This performance is achieved with moderate per-student spending, demonstrating notable efficiency compared to some nearby schools in Oakland Unified that spend significantly more for lower results.

Located in the Lamorinda area, the school is part of a cluster of high-performing schools, including nearby Orinda Intermediate and M. H. Stanley Middle, which contrast sharply with the performance of some schools just a few miles away in other districts. The school showed strong resilience through the pandemic, and while its math scores are outstanding, they are a relative area for focus compared to its even stronger English scores.
