Summary

Mattie Lou Maxwell Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 577 students in Anaheim, California, as part of the Magnolia Elementary School District, but it consistently performs below both district and state academic averages.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, Mattie Lou Maxwell faces significant challenges, particularly in academic achievement and class size. For example, in English Language Arts, only 33.22% of students are proficient, which is lower than the district average and notably lower than schools like Dr. Albert Schweitzer Leadership Academy (58.51%). The school also has a higher student-teacher ratio of 23:1, while Lord Baden-Powell operates at 17.7:1. Despite serving a student population with economic needs similar to higher-performing peers like Robert M. Pyles STEM Academy, its academic results have declined over the past decade.

However, the school shows notable strengths in supporting specific student groups, with homeless and special education students performing well above average. The uneven performance across grade levels and the gap with other Magnolia Elementary schools suggest there are opportunities for the school to learn from and implement successful practices found elsewhere in the district to improve overall outcomes.
