Summary

De Anza Middle is a public school serving about 510 students in grades 7 and 8 within the Ontario-Montclair School District, and it stands out for its remarkable improvement and strong support for students who need it most.

The school has shown impressive growth, moving from a 1-star to a 3-star rating over the past decade, and it performs better than many schools with similar student populations, especially in mathematics where its 8th graders outperform state averages. De Anza is particularly effective at supporting specific groups, ranking exceptionally high for homeless students and showing strong results for students in special education, those learning English, and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. While the school's overall science scores are an area for growth, its low student-teacher ratio and significant increase in funding appear to be contributing to positive trends.

When compared to nearby schools in the district, such as higher-ranked Serrano Middle and Oaks Middle, De Anza serves a population with greater economic need. It outperforms other district schools like Vina Danks Middle and Vernon Middle in overall ranking. The school's chronic absenteeism rate, though improved, remains higher than some neighbors, indicating a continued focus area for the community.
