School Overview

La Contenta Middle serves seventh and eighth graders in Yucca Valley, the high-desert town that's become a quiet magnet for artists, outdoor enthusiasts, and folks escaping the pace of coastal California — all with Joshua Tree National Park practically in the backyard. The school's science scores stand out compared to its other subjects, which could reflect the genuinely remarkable natural environment kids grow up exploring here. Families drawn to the area's laid-back, creative culture and wide-open spaces will find a small-town school community to match, though those prioritizing strong English and math preparation may want to look into what additional support the school offers.
