Summary:
This analysis covers three middle schools (grades 6-8) in zip code 91739, part of the highly-ranked Etiwanda Elementary school district, which serves the Etiwanda area of California.
Among these schools, Day Creek Intermediate stands out as the top performer, ranking in the 96th percentile of all California middle schools with the highest test scores in English, math, and science, along with the lowest rate of chronic student absenteeism. Etiwanda Intermediate and Summit Intermediate also perform well above state averages but show more room for improvement, with Etiwanda having the highest chronic absenteeism and Summit showing a notably lower science proficiency score compared to its other subjects.
An interesting finding is that the school with the highest per-student spending, Etiwanda Intermediate, has the lowest academic performance of the three, suggesting factors beyond funding influence outcomes. All three schools are part of a strong district that outperforms most in the state, but the significant performance gap between Day Creek and the others highlights differences that parents may wish to explore further, such as specific academic programs or support systems.
