Summary:
The Etiwanda Elementary School District, serving grades K-8 and ranked in the 89th percentile statewide, includes four high-performing middle schools (grades 6-8) in the Etiwanda Elementary area, all of which rank in the top 20% of California schools.
Day Creek Intermediate stands out as the district's top performer, leading in all academic subjects with notably strong science scores, maintaining a 5-star rating for three years, and having the lowest rate of chronic absenteeism at 7.2%. Following Day Creek, Summit Intermediate shows strong English Language Arts performance and the second-lowest absenteeism, while Etiwanda Intermediate and Heritage Intermediate also perform well above state averages but have higher chronic absenteeism rates between 11-13%.
An interesting finding is that higher per-student spending does not directly correlate with higher test scores in this district, and all schools show their strongest English scores in 7th grade. The consistent excellence across the district suggests strong systemic support, with the notable performance gap in subjects like math and science at the top school offering potential learning opportunities for the others.
