Summary:
Three public middle schools serving grades 6-8 are located in Brentwood, California (zip code 94513), all operating within the 4-star Brentwood Union School District, which ranks above average statewide.
Among these schools, Adams (J. Douglas) Middle stands out as the top performer, with the highest test scores in English, math, and science and the lowest rate of chronic student absenteeism. Edna Hill Middle has shown the most improvement in recent years and has notable strengths in science, while William B. Bristow Middle faces academic challenges, particularly in mathematics, and its statewide ranking has declined.
Key differences include a significant gap in math performance between the highest and lowest-scoring schools and a puzzling finding at Edna Hill, which spends the most per student and has the smallest class sizes but achieves middle-tier academic results. Overall, parents will find a district with above-average performance, but with important variations in quality and trajectory between the individual middle schools.
