Summary:
ZIP code 94010 has two public middle schools, both serving grades 6–8, and both are well above California proficiency levels in English language arts (ELA), mathematics and science. In 2025–2026, Burlingame Intermediate and Crocker Middle exceeded the state in all three subjects, with Crocker leading the pair in each.
Crocker Middle stands out at the top: its proficiency was 86% in ELA, 83% in mathematics and 76% in science, leading Burlingame Intermediate by 12, 12 and 17 percentage points, respectively. Burlingame scored 74% in ELA, 71% in mathematics and 59% in science, yet remained 25, 33 and 23 points above California. Burlingame also had a strong result in Spanish: its overall CSA Spanish score was 31%, compared with 10% statewide; no comparable Crocker result was supplied.
Recent changes give families different patterns to consider. Burlingame’s ELA was essentially flat from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while Crocker’s rose 5 points; both schools gained in mathematics, by 3 points at Burlingame and 2 at Crocker. In science, Burlingame fell 8 points while Crocker rose 8, a sharp contrast behind the nearly unchanged two-school average. SchoolDigger gives both schools five stars; its 2025–2026 rankings were 28th of 2,703 for Crocker and 177th of 2,703 for Burlingame. Other reported context differs too: the 2024–2025 student–teacher ratios were 13.8 at Crocker and 21.4 at Burlingame, and free/reduced lunch eligible figures for that year were 3% and 25%, respectively. Chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 was 5% at Crocker and 8% at Burlingame, below California’s 18%. These are observations alongside achievement results, not evidence that one factor explains another.
