Summary

Del Vallejo Middle is a public school serving about 640 students in grades 6-8 within the San Bernardino City Unified district, operating in a community with significant economic need where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces considerable challenges, with student proficiency in English, math, and science significantly below both district and state averages; for example, only about 9% of students met math standards in recent assessments. Chronic absenteeism, where students miss 10% or more of school days, is also high at over 36%, which is nearly double the state average. While these issues with low test scores and attendance are common across several middle schools in the San Bernardino City Unified district, including Martin Luther King Junior Middle and Golden Valley Middle, Del Vallejo's performance is among the lowest.

A striking comparison can be made with the nearby Colonel Joseph C. Rodriguez PREP Academy, which serves a similarly high-need student population but achieves dramatically different results, with much higher test scores and a chronic absenteeism rate under 9%. This contrast highlights that improvement is possible within the same community. Despite Del Vallejo having higher per-student spending than some neighboring schools, academic outcomes have remained persistently low, though there has been a slight upward trend in its statewide ranking in recent years.
