Auburndale Intermediate

Corona is a sprawling Inland Empire city where housing is more affordable than coastal LA or Orange County, drawing a mix of working families and commuters who appreciate the space and value. Auburndale Intermediate serves grades 7 and 8 in one of Corona's newer residential corridors, but families looking at middle school options here will want to weigh the school's academic performance carefully — scoring around the 22nd–25th percentile statewide in English, Math, and Science means most students are working below grade-level benchmarks. It may be a better fit for families who plan to supplement with outside tutoring or enrichment, and who prioritize community familiarity and neighborhood convenience over academic intensity.
