Summary:

In the 91016 zip code of Monrovia, California, there are two public middle schools, Clifton Middle and Santa Fe Computer Science Magnet, both serving grades 6-8 within the Monrovia Unified school district.

When comparing the two, Clifton Middle stands out as the higher-performing school, consistently scoring above both the district and state averages in English, math, and science, and ranking in the 80th percentile among all California middle schools. In contrast, Santa Fe Computer Science Magnet has proficiency rates below these benchmarks across all subjects, including in mathematics despite its specialized focus.

Both schools have similar resources from the Monrovia Unified district, which itself performs above the state average, highlighting Clifton as a consistently strong model within the community.
