Summary

Corvallis Middle is a public school in Norwalk, California, serving 663 students in grades 6–8 as part of Norwalk-La Mirada Unified. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were 43% in English language arts (ELA), 24% in math and 23% in science. The most important finding for families is that, despite progress over time, the school remains below both the state and district in all three subjects.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject relative to nearby schools, while science and math are bigger concerns. Among seven nearby schools serving grades 6–8, Corvallis ranked fourth in ELA, but third-lowest in math and second-lowest in science. The group’s average proficiency was 48% in ELA, 30% in math and 31% in science—about 5, 5 and 8 points above Corvallis, respectively. The state and district comparisons show a similar pattern: Corvallis was 6 points below both in ELA, 14 points below the state and 11 below the district in math, and 13 below the state and 11 below the district in science. Grade 8 ELA stands out as a particular concern: Corvallis scored 38%, compared with a 52% average at nearby grade 6–8 schools and 52% for the district.

Results have improved since 2022–23: proficiency rose 10 points in ELA, 5 in math and 10 in science, though ELA and math fell from their 2024–25 highs. Chronic absenteeism also dropped substantially, from 36% in 2021–22 to 15% in 2025–26, below the district’s 18% and the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger placed Corvallis in the 40th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26, the third-lowest percentile among 11 nearby schools. Its 24.3 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25 was about 3 higher than the other nearby schools’ average, while 76% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, close to the nearby average of 78%. SchoolDigger’s ranking suggests a notably stronger result for homeless students, at the 77th percentile in 2025–26 versus the school’s overall 40th percentile; its Special Education Students ranking also rose from the 15th percentile to the 32nd.
