Summary:
ZIP code 92567 has one middle school, Mountain Shadows Middle, serving grades 7–8 and enrolling 339 students; there is no other listed school in the area to compare it with. In 2025–2026, its ELA results were stronger than its math and science results: 47% were proficient in ELA, compared with 26% in math and 27% in science. ELA was 4 percentage points above the Nuview Union district and 2 points below the state, while math was 1 point below the district and 13 points below the state. The clearest concern is math: results trailed the state in both grades, by 11 points in grade 7 and 12 points in grade 8.
Within this one-school area, ELA is the standout and math is the largest academic gap. Grade 7 and grade 8 ELA results were each just above the district—by less than 1 point—and below the state by 5 points and 2 points, respectively. In both math grades, results were also just above the district, but below the state by 11 and 12 points. Grade 8 science was 8 points below the state. SchoolDigger gives Mountain Shadows 2 stars and ranks it at the 45th percentile statewide (1,475 of 2,703), so its relative standing is around the middle of schools statewide.
Results changed unevenly over time: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, math improved by 4 percentage points, narrowing its gap with the state by 3 points, while science barely changed at the school as the state result rose; the science gap widened by 3 points. ELA was nearly flat, and its state gap widened by 1 point. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking also declined, from the 52nd percentile with 3 stars in 2023–2024 to the 45th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026. Other context includes a student-teacher ratio of 21.5 in 2024–2025 and 89% reported free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; chronic absenteeism was 20% in 2025–2026, compared with 16% in the district and 18% statewide.
