Summary

Mesa View Middle is a public school in Calimesa, California, serving about 720 students in grades 6 through 8 within the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District.

The school faces significant challenges, particularly with chronic student absenteeism, which at 30% is much higher than state and district averages, and academic performance that lags behind both state and local benchmarks in most subjects. Notably, the school has seen a notable decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years. While it serves a community with high economic need, comparable nearby schools with similar student populations, such as those in the Redlands Unified district like Moore Middle and Cope Middle, achieve stronger academic results.

Within its own district, Park View Middle performs similarly or slightly better in some areas, even though Mesa View Middle spends more per student. The data suggests that addressing the high rate of absenteeism could be a key step toward improving overall student engagement and achievement at the school.
