Summary

American Canyon Middle is a 6–8 school in American Canyon, California, with 1,074 students. Its results show a clear subject-by-subject split: ELA and science are above the state average, while math remains below it. The most important takeaway is that the school’s scores are higher than the nearby-school average in all three tested subjects, even though math still trails the state.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject: 52% of students met proficiency, compared with 49% statewide and 44% in Napa Valley Unified; its 52% also exceeds the nearby-school average of 40%. Only Green Valley Middle scored higher in ELA among the nearby schools. In math, 33% met proficiency—above the nearby average of 28% and the district’s 32%, but below the state’s 38%. Science proficiency was 37%, above the nearby average of 28%, the district’s 29%, and the state’s 36%. Among nearby schools with current scores, American Canyon ranked second in ELA, fourth in math, and fifth in science; Benicia Middle and Green Valley were among the local schools ahead of it in more than one subject.

Scores rose over the four years shown: ELA gained 3 percentage points, math 8, and science 11. Science’s sharpest improvement came in the latest year, rising 12 points. SchoolDigger places the school at the 61st statewide percentile with 3 stars in 2025–26, up from the 55th percentile in 2023–24; it ranks fourth among nearby schools with rank data. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 25.2, compared with a nearby-school average of 23.7. In 2024–25, 67% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; the nearby-school average was 61%, and California had all students receive free meals (Community Eligibility) that year. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves Homeless Students was at the 82nd percentile in 2025–26, up from the 57th percentile in 2023–24. Its ranking for African American Students fell from the 75th percentile in 2023–24 to the 42nd in 2025–26. These group rankings compare the school’s results with statewide peers, and the comparison pools can change by year.
