Summary

Longley Way Elementary is a public elementary school in Arcadia, California, serving 516 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Arcadia Unified School District, which is ranked 161 out of 1,565 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Longley Way Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in California, with proficiency rates often exceeding the Arcadia Unified and California state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also has a strong track record of supporting different student subgroups, with high rankings for female, male, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students. However, the school's ranking for Asian students is relatively lower, suggesting an area for potential improvement.

While Longley Way Elementary's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly lower than its nearby counterparts, Camino Grove Elementary and Baldwin Stocker Elementary, which are also part of the Arcadia Unified School District, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, which may be impacting its overall academic performance. The higher spending per student at Longley Way Elementary compared to the district and state averages suggests that the school is receiving adequate resources to support its educational programs, but the need to address the performance gap for Asian students presents an opportunity for the school and district to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.
