Summary

Hillview Junior High is a grades 6–8 school in Pittsburg, California, serving 893 students in the East Bay area. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were below California’s in English language arts (ELA), math and science. The clearest academic concern is math: 14% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide, 18% in Pittsburg Unified and a 19% average at 10 nearby schools.

Hillview’s strongest comparison among the main subjects is science relative to its district, while its results remain below the state and nearby-school average: 19% were proficient, versus 18% in the district, 36% statewide and 21% at nearby schools. ELA was also a concern, at 28%—22 percentage points below the state, 2 below the district and 4 below the nearby-school average. There are brighter spots: math proficiency rises from 11% in grade 6 to 17% in grade 8, and eighth-grade math was higher than at 8 of 10 nearby schools and 3 points above the district, though still 19 points below the state. CSA Spanish reading was another relative strength: 11%, about 4 points above the state and 3 above the district; listening and writing were below both benchmarks.

Recent results show modest math improvement but uneven progress overall. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, math rose 4 percentage points, while ELA rose 1 point and science was nearly unchanged; over that period, ELA and science fell further behind the state. SchoolDigger ranks Hillview in the 15th percentile statewide, with one star, down from the 40th percentile in 2014–2015. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 21.5, within the nearby range of 21.0–23.8; 81% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. One notable group-ranking change: SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves White students fell from the 42nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 5th in 2025–2026.
