Summary:
Middle schools in ZIP code 92118 include one school, Coronado Middle, which serves grades 6–8 and has 660 students; there are no other listed local middle schools to compare it with. In 2025–2026, about 68% of students were proficient in English language arts, 56% in math, and 55% in science. The school was above California in all three subjects, by 19, 17, and 19 percentage points, respectively, but below Coronado Unified by 4, 6, and 5 points. The clearest overall finding is that the school’s proficiency rates exceed state results, while district rates are higher still.
Because Coronado Middle is the only school in the list, it is both the area’s top and bottom school by default—not evidence that it outperforms or trails local peers. Its results were above the state in every reported grade-and-subject comparison. The largest grade-specific advantage was in eighth-grade math: 60% proficient compared with 36% statewide, a 24-point gap. The smallest was seventh-grade math: 53% compared with 38%, a 15-point gap. In the all-grades results, the school’s advantage over the state was fairly similar across subjects, ranging from 17 points in math to 19 points in ELA.
Recent scores have declined at the school while statewide results rose, narrowing the school’s advantage. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, school proficiency fell by 2 points in ELA, 3 in math, and 1 in science; its gaps over the state narrowed by 2, 4, and 4 points. SchoolDigger ranks Coronado Middle 347th of 2,703 schools, in the 87th percentile with four stars, down from the 92nd percentile in 2023–2024. Other context: the student–teacher ratio was 19.4 in 2024–2025, and 15% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 7% in 2025–2026, compared with 9% in the district and 18% statewide. With one school in the list, local school-to-school differences cannot be assessed.
