Summary

March Middle is a public middle school serving about 690 students in grades 6-8 within the Val Verde Unified School District in Moreno Valley, a community where a high percentage of families face economic challenges.

Academic performance at the school is below state averages, with particular concern in mathematics where less than 15% of students are proficient; however, science is a relative strength, outperforming the district average. The school has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, now placing in the bottom quarter of California middle schools. While chronic absenteeism is a concern, it is lower than at several nearby schools like Lakeside Middle and Mountain View Middle. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio and spends more per student than any of the compared schools in the area, yet this higher investment has not translated to leading academic results.

When compared to other local schools, March Middle's performance sits between peers in its own district, such as the higher-performing Vista Verde Middle and the lower-performing Tomas Rivera Middle. The analysis highlights a need for targeted support for English Language Learners and Special Education students, who perform far below state averages. The nearby Amelia Earhart Middle in Riverside Unified shows that stronger outcomes are possible in the region, suggesting March Middle could benefit from examining and adapting successful strategies from higher-performing schools with similar student populations.
