Summary

Twain Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 474 students in the Long Beach Unified school district, maintaining a consistent 3-star rating and performing near district averages in core subjects.

The school shows notable strengths in supporting specific student groups, with Hispanic students and those in special education ranking significantly higher than the school's overall state percentile. It also spends more per student than many nearby schools like Burcham Elementary and Cleveland Elementary, and has made impressive progress in reducing chronic student absenteeism over the past few years. However, challenges exist, particularly a sharp drop in 5th-grade math proficiency and science scores that lag behind both the state and higher-performing neighbors such as Cleveland and Holmes Elementary.

While Twain's academic ranking has dipped slightly in recent years as some peer schools held steady, it continues to serve a diverse community with a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's performance in English and math remains on par with the district, and its effective strategies for certain subgroups and attendance provide a foundation for addressing the identified gaps in upper-grade math and science.
