Summary:
ZIP code 95519 has one middle school, McKinleyville Middle, serving grades 6–8 with 302 students. The available results cover English language arts (ELA), math and science, as well as attendance and other school information. There are no other middle schools in this ZIP code for parents to compare directly. The most important finding is that the school scored below California’s average in all three subjects in 2025–2026.
There is no local top or bottom school because McKinleyville Middle is the only school listed. Its closest result to the state was science: 28% proficient, compared with 36% statewide, a gap of 8 percentage points. ELA was 33% versus 49% statewide, a 16-point gap, and math was 23% versus 38%, a 15-point gap. The unweighted average across the three subjects was 28% at the school and 41% statewide. Within the school, grade 7 was the weakest in both ELA and math: 29% in ELA versus 51% statewide, and 16% in math versus 38%, gaps of 22 and 21 points.
Results moved in different directions over the two reported years: ELA improved by 3 percentage points, while math and science each fell by 3. The ELA gap with the state narrowed from 19 points to 16, but the math gap widened from 11 to 15 and the science gap from 1 to 8. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking also declined, from the 42nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 32nd in 2025–2026. Other context for families: chronic absenteeism was 30% in 2025–2026, compared with 25% in the district and 18% statewide; the student–teacher ratio was 17.9:1 in 2024–2025. In that school year, 53% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible. California also uses Community Eligibility, under which all students receive free meals; that is a separate measure and does not explain the school’s test results.
