School Overview

Lovonya DeJean Middle serves seventh and eighth graders in Richmond, a working-class Bay Area city with a tight-knit community feel and a lot of heart, though it faces real socioeconomic challenges that show up in its academic outcomes. Families considering this school should be aware that test scores currently place it among the lowest in California, and exploring additional academic support resources — whether through tutoring, after-school programs, or district initiatives — would be worth prioritizing. West Contra Costa Unified has been working on improvement efforts across its schools, and families who engage actively with teachers and administration tend to get the most out of what the school has to offer.
