Badger Springs Middle consistently performs below the Moreno Valley Unified district and the state of California in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in Smarter Balanced Assessments/English Language Arts/Literacy ranged from 23.22% to 29.66% at Badger Springs Middle, compared to 31.77% to 35.11% for the Moreno Valley Unified district and 48.06% to 48.81% for the state of California. Badger Springs Middle also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 32.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, 93.17% of Badger Springs Middle students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, Badger Springs Middle performs significantly worse than the nearby middle schools in the Moreno Valley Unified district, such as Vista Heights Middle, Palm Middle, and Mountain View Middle, which all have higher academic performance, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower percentages of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite the relatively high spending per student at Badger Springs Middle, the school's academic and other outcomes are still significantly below the district and state averages, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving the school's performance.
