Summary

Richardson PREP High Middle serves 583 students in grades 6–8 in San Bernardino, California. Its 2025–26 results are strong in English, math and science, and it leads the nearby schools on all three measures. The standout finding is that its achievement is far ahead of both the state and its nearest local competitor in every subject.

The school’s strongest relative result is math: 85% of students were proficient, 46 points above California and 59 points above San Bernardino City Unified. ELA proficiency was 90%—41 points above the state and 51 above the district—while science was 76%, 40 points above the state and 52 above the district. Colonel Joseph C. Rodriguez PREP Academy was the next-highest nearby school in each subject, but Richardson led it by 8 points in ELA, 20 in math and 29 in science. Science is Richardson’s smallest margin over the state; within the school, grade 6 math is a relative low point at 78%, though still well above the state grade 6 result.

Results have risen since 2022–23: ELA gained 10 points, math 9 and science 27. At the same time, the school’s lead over the state widened by 8 points in ELA, 5 in math and 21 in science. SchoolDigger ranks Richardson 22nd of 2,703 California schools, in the 99th percentile, with five stars. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 22.3 students per teacher, not unusually low among nearby schools. In 2024–25, 88% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; nearby schools with the same measure that year ranged from 79.5%–97.1%. California is a statewide-free-meals state, so this eligibility figure is context, not a comparison of who receives meals.

This was my first middle school and I wish I could go back. Some of my greatest friends were there. Unfortunately I moved away. This was a great school and it scores really well and all my teaches were encouraging. Close Quote
