Summary

Amelia Earhart Middle is a well-regarded public school serving about 740 students in grades 7 and 8 within the Riverside Unified School District in Riverside, California, consistently earning high marks for its academic performance.

The school stands out for its strong and consistent test scores, which are significantly higher than both district and state averages in English, Math, and Science. A key strength is its exceptional support for all students, with particular success in helping African American and Hispanic students, as well as those from lower-income families, achieve at high levels. Furthermore, the school maintains a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 11.5%, which is much better than the area average and contributes to its stable, high ranking year after year.

When compared to nearby schools, Amelia Earhart Middle often performs better while spending less per student. It outperforms other Riverside Unified schools like Matthew Gage Middle and is competitive with Frank Augustus Miller Middle, which serves a similar student population. Schools in neighboring districts like Palm Middle (Moreno Valley Unified) or Vista Verde Middle (Val Verde Unified) tend to have higher absenteeism and lower academic rankings, highlighting a district-level advantage.
