Summary

Ina Arbuckle Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 407 students in the Jurupa Unified School District, operating in a high-need community where the vast majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom percentiles of California elementary schools with proficiency rates in English, math, and science that are well below district and state averages. A key concern is chronic absenteeism, with over a quarter of students missing significant school, which is higher than at many nearby schools like Camino Real Elementary (15.9%) and Peralta Elementary (17.9%). Performance is particularly low in the early grades, creating a foundation gap that affects later learning.

Interestingly, Ina Arbuckle receives more funding per student than comparison schools, including higher-performing ones in neighboring Riverside Unified such as Magnolia Elementary, yet outcomes are lower. The school's performance has declined over the past decade, in contrast to more stable trends at other local schools. However, the school shows a relative strength in supporting English Language Learner students, suggesting areas of effective practice that could be expanded.
