Summary

Vista Verde Middle serves 900 students in grades 6–8 in Moreno Valley, within Val Verde Unified. Its 2025–2026 results show a clear pattern: English language arts (ELA) is close to the state, science is somewhat below it, and math is the biggest concern. The most important takeaway is that, despite strong results compared with nearby middle schools, math proficiency remains 15 percentage points below the state.

Vista Verde is one of the stronger local schools for its grade span: its 47% ELA proficiency was the highest among seven other nearby schools serving grades 6–8, and its ELA, math and science results were about 16, 9 and 15 points above those schools’ averages. Its results also exceeded district averages in all three subjects—by 5 points in ELA, 1 in math and 7 in science. Compared with the state, however, it was 3 points lower in ELA, 15 lower in math and 3 lower in science. The school’s 23% math proficiency makes the gap particularly clear.

Results have improved overall since 2022–2023: ELA rose from 40% to 47%, math from 18% to 23%, and science from 24% to 33%, though science fluctuated along the way. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking rose from the 37th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 46th percentile in 2025–2026; the latest rating is 2 stars, still below the statewide midpoint. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings indicate a stronger relative standing for African American students, at the 67th percentile compared with 46th overall. The Special Education Students ranking has also climbed, from the 10th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 35th in 2025–2026. For context, the student–teacher ratio was 22.8:1 in 2024–2025, and 83% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year.
