School Overview

Chemawa Middle sits in the west side of Riverside, a sprawling Inland Empire city known for its citrus history, growing arts scene, and affordable family neighborhoods compared to coastal SoCal. The school serves seventh and eighth graders in a community where many families are working hard and putting down roots, though academic scores currently sit in the mid-30th percentile range — something families looking for stronger test performance may want to factor in. For parents who value a neighborhood school with a local feel and are willing to stay engaged in their child's middle school experience, Chemawa can be a solid home base before students move on to high school.
