Summary:

Azusa, California, has nine schools in this comparison: seven elementary schools and two high schools, with results covering 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. Across all nine, average proficiency is below the state in English language arts (32% versus 49%), math (27% versus 38%) and science (17% versus 36%). Math is closest to the state average, but the clearest area-wide concern is science: the average is 19 percentage points below the state.

Results vary sharply by school and grade span. Among elementary schools, Victor F. Hodge Elementary leads in math at 42% and science at 28%, and ranks second in ELA at 39%; Paramount Elementary leads elementary ELA at 41%, about 1 percentage point ahead of Hodge. Among high schools, Azusa High leads in all three subjects, with 45% proficient in ELA, 18% in math and 26% in science. Sierra High is lowest, at 17% in ELA, 0% in math and 1% in science. The contrast is especially pronounced in math: Hodge’s result is 42 percentage points above Sierra’s.

Math is improving more than the other subjects overall: the nine-school average rose 3 percentage points, while science fell 2 points as the state science result rose 3. Elementary math increased 4 points on average; Charles H. Lee Elementary gained 18 points and Clifford D. Murray Elementary gained 6. Context measures do not follow a simple pattern: Hodge has a 20.9 student–teacher ratio and 80% free/reduced lunch eligible (2024–2025), while Paramount has a 26.2 ratio and leads elementary ELA; all nine schools report free/reduced lunch eligible for that year. SchoolDigger rankings also moved in different directions: Hodge rose 13 percentile points from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, while Magnolia Elementary fell 23 points and Azusa High fell 26. These schoolwide results can conceal differences among grades.
