Summary:

The Alhambra Unified school district serves the city of Alhambra, California, with 11 public schools—nine elementary (K-8) and two high schools (9-12)—educating over 9,600 students in a district that ranks above average statewide.

Performance varies significantly between schools. Mark Keppel High is the clear standout, ranking in the state's top 10% with exceptional test scores and a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 1.8%. The other high school, Alhambra High, also boasts a strong graduation rate over 94%. Among elementary schools, Martha Baldwin Elementary is the top performer, while Granada Elementary ranks lowest despite having the highest per-student spending.

Key district strengths include graduation rates well above the state average and solid overall test scores, particularly in English. Challenges include a wide performance gap between elementary schools and lower math scores compared to English. Chronic absenteeism is a notable indicator, with schools showing lower attendance generally ranking lower. The district serves a population with significant economic need, with between 39% and 60% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across its schools.
