Summary:
Azusa Unified includes 10 schools—seven elementary, one middle and two high schools—serving students from elementary through high school. The schools’ average All Grades results for 2025–26 were 32% in ELA, 26% in math and 17% in science, compared with state figures of 49%, 38% and 36%. Math was the district’s strongest subject relative to the state, but still fell short by 12 percentage points; the gaps were 17 points in ELA and 19 in science. The most important takeaway is that results vary widely, so the district average gives little indication of what a student may experience at a particular school.
Victor F. Hodge Elementary led the reported All Grades math and science results, at 42% and 28%, while Azusa High led ELA at 45%. Hodge’s results were still 4 points below the state in math and 8 below in science; Azusa High’s ELA was 5 points below the state. Among elementary schools, Paramount Elementary stood out in grade 3 ELA, scoring 48% versus 44% statewide, and Charles H. Lee Elementary scored 47% in grade 4 ELA versus 46% statewide. At the other end, Sierra High had the lowest All Grades results: 17% in ELA, 0% in math and 1% in science—about 17, 29 and 18 points below the other schools’ averages.
From 2024–25 to 2025–26, the schools’ average math result rose 3 points, while ELA was essentially unchanged and science fell 1 point; math was the clearest area of progress. School-level changes differed: Lee gained 18 points in math, while Valleydale Elementary fell 7 points in ELA. SchoolDigger’s three-year percentile ranking rose from the 36th to the 49th percentile for Hodge, while Magnolia Elementary fell from the 45th to the 22nd. Other measures offer context, not an explanation for scores: Hodge had a 20.9 student–teacher ratio and 80% free/reduced lunch eligible in school year 2024–25, while Paramount had a 26.2 ratio. All 10 schools reported that measure for 2024–25, ranging from 77% at Henry Dalton Elementary to 94% at Sierra.
