Summary

Muscatel Middle is a 7th-8th grade school serving 511 students in the Rosemead Elementary district, consistently earning high marks as a 4-star school that ranks in the top 15% of all California middle schools.

The school's most remarkable strength is its incredible student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 1.5% that is far better than the state average and the best among nearby schools like Roger W. Temple Intermediate and Jefferson Middle. Academically, it outperforms state averages in English, Science, and Math, and it excels at supporting students with high needs, ranking in the 90th percentile or higher for students from low-income families, English learners, and those in special education—a standout achievement compared to schools with similar demographics such as Macy Intermediate.

While the school's math scores are an area for potential growth, its consistent performance over a decade and strong results relative to its high per-student funding show a very effective learning environment. It provides a uniquely supportive and engaging community that successfully prepares all students for success.
