Elementary Schools in Alhambra Unified

Summary:

Alhambra Unified School District serves students across 13 elementary schools (grades K-8) in the greater Los Angeles area, with the district as a whole performing significantly above California state averages in English, math, and science proficiency.

Among these schools, Monterey Highlands Elementary stands out as the top performer, boasting the highest statewide ranking, excellent test scores, and the district's lowest chronic absenteeism rate. Other strong options include Brightwood Elementary, which has exceptional science scores, and the large but effective Martha Baldwin Elementary. On the other hand, Granada Elementary and Emery Park Elementary are the lowest-ranked, with academic scores and chronic absenteeism rates that are concerning and warrant district attention.

Key takeaways for parents are that attendance strongly correlates with success, as schools with lower absenteeism consistently perform better, and that higher per-student spending does not guarantee better outcomes. The district shows a notable performance gap between its highest and lowest achieving schools, though all schools in Alhambra Unified exceed state averages. Families may want to note that 5th-grade math appears to be a common challenge, while science instruction is a particular strength at Brightwood.
