Summary

Ynez Elementary is a consistently strong K-8 public school serving 695 students in Monterey Park, part of the Alhambra Unified School District, where it outperforms state averages in all core subjects while serving a student population with significant economic need.

The school is particularly effective in supporting its students, achieving excellent attendance with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.3%, which is better than many nearby schools like Repetto Elementary and Ramona Elementary. Academically, Ynez excels with students who are learning English and those from lower-income families, ranking in the state's top tiers for these groups. It achieves these strong outcomes efficiently, with moderate per-student spending compared to schools like Monterey Vista Elementary in the Garvey Elementary district.

While Ynez maintains stable, above-average performance overall, it faces a specific challenge in ensuring all student subgroups thrive equally, and there is room to strengthen mathematics instruction in the upper grades. Compared to other schools in Alhambra Unified, such as the higher-performing Monterey Highlands Elementary, Ynez serves a community with greater economic need, making its consistent academic results and exceptional attendance record notable strengths for families to consider.
