Summary:
La Habra City Elementary includes nine schools—seven elementary and two middle schools—serving grades K–8. In 2025–26, the schools’ unweighted averages were 42% proficient in ELA, 37% in math and 33% in science, compared with California’s 49%, 38% and 36%. The biggest takeaway is how uneven results are: the gap between the highest- and lowest-scoring schools reached 49 percentage points in science, with large differences in ELA and math as well.
Las Positas Elementary led the supplied All Grades ELA and math results, at 56% and 54%; Walnut Elementary was lowest in all three core subjects, at 28% ELA, 27% math and 16% science. El Cerrito Elementary stood out in science at 65%. Same-grade results also show differences: in grade 5, Las Positas led ELA at 70% and math at 51%, while Walnut had 25% ELA and 24% math. In grade 6, Ladera Palma Elementary led the schools with results in both ELA, at 57%, and math, at 47%.
Results moved in different directions from 2024–25 to 2025–26: the group’s average ELA fell 1 percentage point, while math rose 1 point and science rose 8 points. The group’s gap with California narrowed in math and science but widened in ELA. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rank for Las Positas rose from 64 to 74 over 2023–24 to 2025–26. School characteristics offer context, not a simple explanation: free/reduced lunch eligibility in 2024–25 ranged from 70% at Ladera Palma to 91% at Walnut, while the average student-teacher ratio was 22.2. For example, Las Positas had a 24.5 ratio and strong results, while Las Lomas Elementary had the lowest ratio, 19.1, but results below the state in the supplied All Grades core subjects.
