Charles D. Jones Middle

Baldwin Park is a working-class community tucked in the San Gabriel Valley, where schools like Charles D. Jones Middle serve families who are deeply rooted in the neighborhood and value hard work and community ties. Jones sits in the lower quarter of California middle schools academically, with math scores in particular reflecting the challenges many students here are working through, so families focused on academic acceleration may want to look at additional support resources or enrichment outside of school. That said, for families already in the Baldwin Park area, it's a local school with a familiar community feel, and the surrounding neighborhood offers easy access to the broader San Gabriel Valley's parks, local eateries, and a tight-knit Latino cultural community.
