Summary:
The 94403 middle-school list has one school, Abbott Middle, serving grades 6–8, with 721 students. Its 2025–2026 results can be compared with California and the San Mateo-Foster City district, but there are no other schools in the list to compare against it. The most important finding is that Abbott’s core-subject results were below California’s overall, with the largest gap in ELA and the smallest in science.
Abbott’s science result came closest to the state, at 35% proficient versus 36%, about 1 point lower; math was 33% versus 38%, 5 points lower, and ELA was 42% versus 49%, 8 points lower. Results also vary by grade: seventh-grade math was slightly above the state (38% versus 38%, a reported 0-point lead), while sixth- and eighth-grade math were 7 and 5 points below. ELA was below the state in every grade, by 5 points in grade 6, 9 in grade 7, and 9 in grade 8. Abbott’s CSA Spanish results were above California in all four measures: by 3 points in Overall, 4 in Listening, 1 in Writing, and 9 in Reading. Because it is the only school listed, it cannot be called a local leader or trailer.
Abbott’s core results improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, especially in science and math: science rose about 9 points, math 5 points, and ELA 1 point. SchoolDigger ranked it 1,312 of 2,703 statewide in 2025–2026 (51st percentile, three stars); its percentile was 47th in 2024–2025 and 57th in 2023–2024, so the three-year pattern was not a steady rise. Other context includes a 17.8 student-teacher ratio and a 61% free/reduced lunch eligible share in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism was 19% in 2025–2026, compared with 15% in the district and 18% statewide.
