Summary:
The La Habra City Elementary School District in California is home to 7 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. These schools, which include Ladera Palma Elementary, Las Positas Elementary, Walnut Elementary, Sierra Vista Elementary, El Cerrito Elementary, Las Lomas Elementary, and Arbolita Elementary, serve a predominantly Hispanic student population with high rates of economic disadvantage.
Among the standout schools in the district, Las Positas Elementary ranks the highest, performing well on standardized tests and boasting the second-lowest chronic absenteeism rate. Sierra Vista Elementary and El Cerrito Elementary also stand out, with strong academic performance and relatively low chronic absenteeism rates. However, the district as a whole struggles with test scores that fall below state averages, particularly in 6th grade, and high chronic absenteeism rates that exceed the state average.
The data suggests that addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and the socioeconomic challenges faced by the district's predominantly economically disadvantaged student population could be key priorities for the La Habra City Elementary School District. Identifying and sharing best practices from the higher-performing schools could also help raise the overall academic achievement across the district and ensure that all students have access to a quality education.
