Summary:

Zip code 93922 in Carmel, California, contains one public school, Carmel Middle, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the highly-ranked Carmel Unified school district.

Carmel Middle is a standout institution, consistently earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the top 10% of California middle schools. Students here perform well above state averages in all subjects, particularly in English, and benefit from a low student-teacher ratio and a very low rate of chronic absenteeism, which is nearly half the state average. The school's strong outcomes are supported by a high level of per-student spending.

While excelling overall, the school's performance data shows common middle school patterns, with math and English scores dipping slightly in 8th grade. It's important to note the school serves a population with relatively low economic disadvantage compared to state averages. For parents, this single-school zip code offers a high-performing, well-resourced middle school environment with a strong track record of academic success and student support.
