Elementary Schools in Claremont Unified

Summary:

The Claremont Unified district includes eight elementary schools serving grades K-6, with one specialized K-8 school, educating over 3,000 students in a district ranked in the top quarter statewide.

Among these schools, Sycamore Elementary stands out as the top performer, earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the 95th percentile for California, with notably high proficiency in English, math, and science. Chaparral Elementary shows impressive improvement and has the district's lowest chronic absenteeism rate, while Vista del Valle Elementary faces greater academic challenges despite higher per-student spending. The specialized Danbury Special Education school operates with a very low student-teacher ratio and unique resources.

Overall, the district's elementary schools perform above state averages academically, but performance varies. Key findings include a common dip in 5th-grade math scores across several schools and a wide range in chronic absenteeism, from 4.6% at Chaparral to much higher rates elsewhere. The data suggests that factors like attendance and specific school practices, rather than funding alone, are significant drivers of student success within the district.
