of 2,761 California Middle Schools

Better than 19% of California middle schools

Summary

Hillview Junior High is a public middle school serving 893 students in grades 6-8 within the Pittsburg Unified School District, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of California middle schools, currently in the 19th percentile with a 1-star rating.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English (30.64%) and math (11.81%) well below state averages, though its science scores (18.25%) are a relative strength compared to its district peers, Rancho Medanos Junior High and Martin Luther King Junior Junior High. Performance has declined over the past decade, and chronic absenteeism, while improved, remains high at 28%. Notably, the school spends a substantial $18,086 per student, but this has not translated to strong outcomes, a pattern seen across the district.

Comparisons with nearby districts reveal stark differences. Schools in Mt. Diablo Unified, like the highly-ranked Diablo View Middle, perform dramatically better, while those in Antioch Unified, such as Antioch Middle, often perform worse. This suggests that factors beyond funding, such as instructional quality and community context, heavily influence success, and Hillview's recent progress in reducing absenteeism may be a key area to build upon for improvement.
