Summary:

The Garvey Elementary district consists of 11 schools serving grades K-8 across Rosemead, Monterey Park, and San Gabriel, all operating in a high-need context with free/reduced lunch rates well above the state average.

When comparing schools, Monterey Vista Elementary and Duff Language Magnet Academy stand out as top performers. Monterey Vista ranks in the 90th percentile statewide with exceptional math scores, while Duff Magnet, despite a high poverty rate, achieves the district's highest science proficiency and near-perfect attendance. The district's highest-ranked middle school is Garvey (Richard) Intermediate. In contrast, Dewey Avenue Elementary and Sanchez (George I.) Elementary show concerning proficiency rates and the district's highest chronic absenteeism.

Key takeaways for parents include the strong link between attendance and performance, with top schools having much lower absenteeism. The success of the magnet program at Duff demonstrates specialized options within the district. Overall, the district outperforms state averages in core subjects, but performance varies widely between schools, with significant differences in 3rd grade math and 5th grade science proficiency offering clear areas for potential growth and intervention.
