Summary:
In the Beaumont, CA area (zip code 92223), there are two public middle schools, San Gorgonio Middle and Mountain View Middle, both serving grades 6-8 within the Beaumont Unified school district.
Comparing the two, San Gorgonio Middle is the stronger academic performer, with higher test scores in English, math, and science, a better statewide ranking, and a notably lower rate of chronic student absenteeism. Mountain View Middle, while smaller with a slightly better student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, has lower academic proficiency and a higher absentee rate that exceeds the state average.
Both schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and perform below the Beaumont Unified district averages, particularly in math and science. Key takeaways for parents are that San Gorgonio Middle shows positive momentum with improving rankings, while the district may need to address how resources translate to outcomes at Mountain View Middle, especially regarding attendance and science instruction.
