Oak Avenue Intermediate

Temple City is one of those quiet, family-focused communities in the San Gabriel Valley where academics are taken seriously and parent involvement runs deep, and Oak Avenue Intermediate fits right into that culture. This 7th-and-8th-grade school posts particularly strong math numbers — a real draw for families eyeing STEM pathways down the road — while staying well-rounded across English and science. It's a natural fit for families who want a rigorous but supportive bridge between elementary and high school, in a neighborhood where good schools and tight-knit community tend to go hand in hand.
