Elementary Schools in Downey Unified


Summary:

The Downey Unified School District in California is home to 13 elementary schools serving grades K-5, with a few schools covering only grades K-3 or K-4. The district as a whole is ranked 562 out of 1,568 school districts in the state and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

A few schools stand out in the data set, including Price (Maude) Elementary, which ranks in the top 23% of California elementary schools and has a 4-star rating, the highest in the district. Unsworth (Edith) Elementary is another high-performing school, also with a 4-star rating. Williams (Spencer V.) Elementary stands out for its exceptional 3rd grade test scores, with 65.91% of students proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

However, the data also reveals significant variation in school performance across the district, with some schools struggling more than others. Chronic absenteeism is a concern, with rates ranging from 26.5% to 48.1%, and there appears to be a relationship between socioeconomic status and academic achievement. Addressing these disparities and supporting the lower-performing schools will be crucial for the Downey Unified district to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
