Better than 10% of California middle schools

Summary

Badger Springs Middle is a public school serving grades 6–8 and 1,058 students in Moreno Valley, California, within Moreno Valley Unified. The most important finding is that its 2025–2026 results were below state and district averages in all three core subjects, pointing to a broad academic challenge rather than a weakness in just one subject.

Among the core subjects, science was the school’s relative bright spot, while ELA was weakest against nearby schools. ELA proficiency was 25%, compared with 49% statewide, 35% in the district, and a 35% average for comparable nearby schools; it was the lowest result among the nine schools compared. Math was 12%, below the state’s 38%, the district’s 20%, and the nearby average of 16%; it ranked third-lowest among those schools. Science was 16%, versus 36% statewide, 20% in the district, and a 21% nearby average, making it second-lowest among the nine. Spanish-language assessment results offered a notable exception: Reading was 10%, above the state’s 8% and the district’s 10%.

Scores have improved modestly since 2022–2023, but the gaps with the state have widened. ELA rose 2 points, math 1 point, and science 4 points, while the state gaps widened by 1, 3, and 2 points, respectively. SchoolDigger ranks the school in the 10th percentile statewide, with 1 star; it ties with Sunnymead for the lowest current percentile among nearby schools with rankings. Chronic absenteeism fell from 36% in 2021–2022 to 22% in 2025–2026, though that remained 4 points above the state rate. The school’s student-teacher ratio was 22.4 in 2024–2025, the highest among the five same-district middle schools, and its reported free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 95% that year, second-highest among nearby schools reporting the same measure. SchoolDigger’s ranking of how well the school served English Language Learner students fell from the 28th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 9th in 2023–2024, while its overall percentile rose from 13th to 15th; those subgroup rankings do not show the group’s current standing.
