Summary:
The Claremont Unified School District consists of 11 public schools serving grades K-12 in the Claremont area, with an overall strong 4-star rating that places it well above average for California.
Academic performance varies across the district, with clear standout schools like Sycamore Elementary and Claremont High School, both earning 5-star ratings for exceptional test scores and outcomes. In contrast, Vista del Valle Elementary faces academic challenges, particularly in mathematics, while the specialized San Antonio High (Continuation) and Danbury Special Education schools serve vulnerable populations with very high per-student spending and chronic absenteeism, though San Antonio maintains a high graduation rate.
Key takeaways include a consistent district-wide gap where math scores lag behind English scores, and a notable range in chronic absenteeism from as low as 4.6% at Chaparral Elementary to over 69% at Danbury. The sole middle school, El Roble Intermediate, performs strongly, ranking in the 86th percentile. Overall, the district outperforms state averages but has clear opportunities to address performance gaps and support its highest-need schools.
