Summary

Fort Irwin Middle in Fort Irwin, California, serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 312 students. In 2025–2026, its results varied sharply by subject: science proficiency was above state and district levels, while math was below both. The most important takeaway is that science is a clear strength, but mathematics is a significant area of weakness compared with the state.

Science proficiency was 46%, compared with 36% statewide and 35% in the district. ELA was 46%—below the state’s 49% but above the district’s 43%—while math was 28%, below the state’s 38% and the district’s 30%. Eighth grade stood out: results were 60% in ELA, 36% in math and 46% in science; eighth-grade math was about level with the state. There are no other schools within 20 miles, so nearby-school comparisons are not available.

Science has improved over time, rising from 32% in 2022–2023 to 46% in 2025–2026; meanwhile, the school’s advantage over the state grew from 1 point to 10. ELA fell from its 58% peak in 2024–2025 to 46%, and the math gap with the state widened. SchoolDigger’s overall statewide percentile fell from 72 in 2023–2024 to 53 in 2025–2026, and its rating moved from 4 stars to 3. Its statewide measure for how well it serves students with low socioeconomic status was at the 35th percentile, down from the 66th in 2023–2024; its measure for multiracial students was at the 22nd percentile, compared with 53 overall. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 18.8, and 52% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that year; the data also flags that all California students receive free meals.
