Summary:
ZIP code 95119 has one middle school, Bernal Intermediate, which serves grades 7–8 and enrolls 675 students. With no other middle schools in the list, families can compare Bernal with state and district results, but not with local school peers. The most important finding is that Bernal’s 2025–26 results were above the state average in ELA, math and science.
Bernal Intermediate is both the highest- and lowest-scoring school in this one-school group by default, so that is not a meaningful local ranking. Its clearest strength is math: in 2025–26, 48% of students were proficient, about 10 percentage points above the state and 4 points above the Oak Grove Elementary district. ELA proficiency was 58%, about 8 points above the state and 9 points above the district. Science was 41%, about 5 points above the state, but slightly below the district. Grade 7 math stands out especially: 52% were proficient, about 14 points above the state. In grade 8, Bernal was above the state in all reported subjects, though science was below the district.
Results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26 in all three subjects: Bernal’s ELA rose from 57% to 58%, math from 45% to 48%, and science from 37% to 41%. Its gains exceeded the state’s in each subject, and the school remained above state results across the board. SchoolDigger gives Bernal four stars and ranks it 655th of 2,703 schools, in the 76th percentile; it was in the 75th percentile the prior year and the 77th percentile two years earlier, so the ranking has been fairly steady. Other context includes a 22.9 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25 and 42% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch that year. Chronic absenteeism in 2025–26 was 15%, below the district’s 16% and the state’s 18%.
