Summary

Pine Hollow Middle serves 538 students in grades 6–8 in Concord, within the Mt. Diablo Unified district. The main academic concern is that the school is below both state and district proficiency rates in all three tested subjects: in 2025–2026, 45% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 33% in math, and 33% in science. Even so, it ranked fifth of 11 nearby middle schools in each subject, placing it around the middle of its local group.

Science is closest to state and district results, while seventh-grade math is a clear weak spot. The school’s science proficiency was 33%, compared with 36% statewide and 35% in the district; its math rate was 33%, versus 38% statewide and 39% in the district. ELA was 45%, compared with 49% for both the state and district. Nearby-school averages were 51% in ELA, 39% in math, and 39% in science, so Pine Hollow was below the peer average in every subject. Within the school, seventh-grade math was 28%, compared with 36% in sixth grade and 35% in eighth grade. Eighth grade was the strongest ELA grade, at 47%.

ELA and math have improved since 2022–2023: ELA rose 3 percentage points and math 8, while science increased 2 points over that period but fell 7 points from its 2024–2025 peak. SchoolDigger ranked Pine Hollow at the 53rd percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, down from the 61st percentile the year before. Its chronic absenteeism rose from 18% to 22%, while the latest district and state rates were lower. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 21.2, the second-lowest among the nearby schools; its free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 57% that year. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is that Special Education Students ranked at the 73rd percentile, compared with 53rd overall, while Asian Students ranked at the 14th percentile.
