School Overview

Tucked into the foothills of the San Gabriel Valley, Clifton Middle sits in Monrovia — a city that feels like a small town despite being just 20 miles from downtown Los Angeles, with a charming Old Town district, regular community events, and easy access to the Angeles National Forest. Clifton performs well above average across the board, with particularly strong English scores, making it a solid choice for families who want a rigorous middle school experience without the pressure of some of the more intensely competitive schools in the broader LA area. Families drawn to Monrovia tend to love the blend of suburban calm and genuine community feel, and Clifton fits right into that identity.
