Summary:

San Gabriel, California, is served by 12 public schools across four main districts, offering education from elementary through high school, including both traditional and alternative options, within a diverse urban community.

Parents will find a mix of high-performing and struggling schools here. Top academic choices include Emperor Elementary in the Temple City Unified district and Gabrielino High in San Gabriel Unified, both ranking in the state's top 15% with strong test scores and excellent attendance. The comprehensive high schools, San Gabriel High (Alhambra Unified) and Gabrielino, also boast graduation rates well above the state average.

However, significant challenges exist within the same city. Roosevelt Elementary and Del Mar High (both in San Gabriel Unified) have the lowest rankings and face issues with chronic absenteeism, despite receiving higher per-student funding. The data shows that school district boundaries matter, as performance varies widely even among elementary schools in the San Gabriel Unified district, and that consistent student attendance is a critical factor linked to school success.
