Summary

Pine Hollow Middle is a public school serving about 540 students in grades 6-8 in Concord, part of the Mt. Diablo Unified School District, and it holds a middle-of-the-road statewide ranking, performing better than 61% of California middle schools.

Academically, the school shows a clear strength in science, where student proficiency notably outpaces both the district and state averages, though performance in English and math is currently below those benchmarks. The school has made significant progress in improving student attendance, with chronic absenteeism now lower than the state average, a positive trend especially considering a recent, substantial increase in the number of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Pine Hollow demonstrates particular effectiveness in supporting students with special education needs and those from low-income families, with performance for the latter group showing marked improvement in recent years.

When compared to other middle schools in Mt. Diablo Unified, Pine Hollow sits in the middle of a wide performance range. It significantly outperforms lower-ranked schools like Oak Grove Middle and El Dorado Middle but trails higher-performing schools such as Foothill Middle, Diablo View Middle, and Pleasant Hill Middle. This places Pine Hollow as a median option within its district, with distinct programmatic strengths and ongoing challenges in core subjects.
