Suzanne Middle

Public Grades 6-8

206^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 2,703 California Middle Schools

Better than 92% of California middle schools

Summary

Suzanne Middle serves 1,190 students in grades 6–8 in Walnut, California, within the Walnut Valley Unified community. In 2025–26, 74% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 65% in math, and 64% in science. The clearest takeaway is that Suzanne performs well above California’s results in all three subjects, though it trails the district’s two other middle schools in each.

Suzanne’s results are strong compared with the wider nearby-school group, but math is its clearest relative weakness. It ranked third among the 11 supplied schools in each subject, ahead of the group’s averages of 54% in ELA, 43% in math, and 39% in science. Its results were about 25, 26, and 28 percentage points above California, respectively. Compared with Chaparral Middle and South Pointe Middle, however, Suzanne ranked lower in all three subjects. It was about even with the district in science, 1 point below in ELA, and 8 points below in math. Eighth-grade math is a particular area to ask about: 59% were proficient, 15 points below the district’s eighth-grade result, though still well above the state.

Results have risen overall since 2022–23, but not every year: ELA improved by about 2 points, math by 3, and science by 1. Suzanne’s state ranking remains high: SchoolDigger ranks it 206th of 2,703 California schools, at the 92nd percentile with five stars. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 26.3, the second-highest among the nearby schools, and 25% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch that year. One notable subgroup finding is that SchoolDigger’s measure of how well Suzanne serves students receiving special education ranks it at the 72nd percentile, down from the 90th percentile in 2023–24.
