Summary

Ray Wiltsey Middle serves 727 students in grades 6–8 in Ontario, California. Its 2025–26 results show improvement, but proficiency is still below state levels in math and science. The clearest strength is English language arts (ELA): about 50% of students were proficient, narrowly above the state rate and above the district rate.

Compared with the nearby schools shown, Ray ranked fifth of 10 in ELA, math and science. Its ELA result was above the nearby-school average of 47%, the Ontario-Montclair district rate of 46%, and the state rate of 49%. Math proficiency was about 30%—below the state’s 38% and the district’s 37%, but above the nearby-school average of 28%. Science was about 25%, below the state’s 36%, district’s 27%, and nearby-school average of 28%. Attendance is a bright spot: chronic absenteeism was about 5%, lower than the district’s 8% and state’s 18%; only Vernon Middle was lower among nearby schools with results.

ELA proficiency rose 13 percentage points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, and math rose 10 points; science increased by 2 points and has not kept pace with the state. SchoolDigger rated Ray at the 52nd percentile with 3 stars in 2025–26, up from the 37th percentile and 2 stars the year before. Its SchoolDigger statewide ranking for how well it serves homeless students was especially high: the group ranked at the 79th percentile, compared with 52 overall. Ray’s 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 95%, the highest among nearby schools shown; its student-teacher ratio was 17.4, below the nearby-school average of 18.5. All-grades comparisons have a grade-span limitation because Ray serves grades 6–8 while most nearby schools serve grades 7–8.
