Summary:
The Bassett Unified school district in La Puente serves about 2,400 students across seven schools, from elementary through high school, all of which serve predominantly high-needs communities.
Among these schools, Bassett Senior High stands out as the top performer with an excellent 97.6% graduation rate, while Edgewood Academy is a strong elementary school with the district's best math scores. In contrast, Sunkist Elementary ranks in the bottom 15% of elementary schools statewide, and Nueva Vista Continuation High, which serves a very small population of at-risk students, faces significant challenges with attendance and academic proficiency.
Overall, the district's graduation rates are notably high, but students on average trail state benchmarks in core academic subjects, particularly in math and science. The performance varies widely from school to school, suggesting that individual school environment and support systems play a major role in student success within this community.
