About Us

Welcome to Paulding Middle School, home of the Patriots! Our school aims to provide students with an inspiring, safe environment where they are able to learn confidently, creatively, and independently. Paulding was named a California Distinguished School in 2019 and again in 2023. In order to serve the current population of approximately 550 students, the school is divided into two 7th-grade teams and two 8th-grade teams. Providing a structured environment in which students feel safe and respected is important to Paulding's approach to promoting positive behavior among its students.
