Temple (Roger W.) Intermediate

Tucked into the quiet, working-class neighborhoods of Rosemead in the San Gabriel Valley, Roger W. Temple Intermediate serves seventh and eighth graders with consistently solid academics across English, math, and science — landing in the top quarter of California middle schools. Families in this corner of LA County tend to be community-rooted and value the kind of focused, two-year middle school experience that helps kids find their footing before high school. Rosemead itself is a modest, unpretentious suburb with easy access to the broader SGV, and Temple fits right into that ethos — a dependable, well-rounded school in a neighborhood that takes education seriously.
