Del Vallejo Middle

Del Vallejo Middle sits in San Bernardino's north side, serving a tight-knit community where families are deeply rooted in the neighborhood. The school faces real academic challenges — its scores place it among the lower-ranked middle schools in California — but it's part of a district that has been working to invest in its students and expand support resources. Families who are engaged and proactive about supplementing their child's education, and who value being part of a close community rather than a more transient suburban school culture, will find a school where relationships between students and staff tend to run deep.
