Summary:
ZIP code 94549 has one middle school, M. H. Stanley Middle, serving grades 6–8 with 1,117 students. In 2025–26, the school’s proficiency was 78% in English language arts (ELA), 76% in mathematics and 63% in science; California’s results were 49%, 38% and 36%, respectively. With no other middle schools in the ZIP code list, there is no local school-to-school comparison. The clearest finding is that M. H. Stanley performed well above the state in all three subjects, with its biggest advantage in mathematics.
M. H. Stanley is the only school to assess, so there is no local top or bottom; its results are strongest relative to the state in mathematics. Its school-to-state advantages were 28 percentage points in ELA, 37 in mathematics and 27 in science. However, all-grade results were slightly below Lafayette Elementary district results: by 3 points in ELA, 3 in mathematics and less than 1 point in science. Grade-level results show a different comparison: the school was a little above the district in grade 6 ELA and mathematics, and matched district results in the reported grade 7 and 8 figures. Grade 8 results were lower than grades 6 and 7 in both ELA and mathematics, though still well above state results.
Results changed in different directions from 2024–25 to 2025–26: science rose 8 percentage points, ELA rose 1 point and mathematics fell by about 1 point. The school’s science lead over the state widened by 5 points, while its mathematics lead narrowed by 2; ELA’s lead widened by about 1 point. SchoolDigger ranks the school 127th of 2,703 statewide, in the 95th percentile, with five stars; its rank improved by 28 places from the prior year but has not regained its 2023–24 position. Other context includes an 18.9 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25, 5% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, and 5% chronic absenteeism in 2025–26, compared with 3% districtwide and 18% statewide.
