Summary

Mission Bell Elementary is a public elementary school located in Jurupa Valley, California, serving 367 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Jurupa Unified School District, which is ranked 1331 out of 1565 districts in the state.

Mission Bell Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 5-10% of California elementary schools in statewide assessments, with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 17.43% of students were proficient or better in ELA End-of-Course assessments, compared to 30.26% for the Jurupa Unified district and 48.81% for the state of California. The school's performance is particularly low in Mathematics, with only 11.01% of students proficient or better, compared to 19.19% for the district and 37.3% for the state. Mission Bell Elementary also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 32.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Mission Bell Elementary to other schools in the Jurupa Unified district, such as Troth Street Elementary, Glen Avon Elementary, and Granite Hill Elementary, it becomes clear that Mission Bell is one of the lowest-performing schools in the district. These nearby schools, while still below the state average in many areas, generally outperform Mission Bell Elementary in academic assessments and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. The high concentration of students from low-income families and the high chronic absenteeism rates at Mission Bell Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's poor academic performance, and the school and district will need to implement more effective strategies and interventions to improve student outcomes.
