Summary

Park Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 581 students in the Alhambra Unified School District, consistently earning a 4-star rating as an above-average performer in the state.

The school shines in its support for English learners and students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with their academic performance ranking in the state's top tiers. A major success story is the dramatic improvement in student attendance, with chronic absenteeism dropping from over 25% to just 10.4%, now better than both the state and district averages. While Park's English Language Arts scores beat the district average, its math and science scores are slightly below, showing a similar pattern to nearby Ramona Elementary but with a notable performance gap where boys are outperforming girls. Interestingly, the school achieves these solid results while spending significantly less per student than other schools in the district like Granada Elementary.

When looking at the broader area, schools in the more affluent South Pasadena Unified district, such as Marengo Elementary, rank higher, but Park Elementary holds its own by outperforming several local schools with similar student populations, including Emery Park Elementary. Areas for growth include boosting math performance in the upper elementary grades and ensuring all student groups, including Asian students who score lower here than is typical statewide, are fully challenged and supported.
