Summary:
The Millbrae Elementary district consists of four K-5 elementary schools serving families in the Millbrae and San Bruno areas, with three schools demonstrating exceptional statewide performance and one school facing significant academic challenges.
Three of the district's schools are top-rated, with Green Hills Elementary leading as the highest performer, ranking in the 94th percentile in California with over 80% of students proficient in English and math, followed closely by the consistently strong Meadows Elementary (89th percentile) and the solid Spring Valley Elementary. These schools maintain low chronic absenteeism rates, between 7-8%, which is less than half the state average, indicating strong student engagement and attendance.
In contrast, Lomita Park Elementary presents a notable outlier, ranking in only the 38th percentile with proficiency rates less than half those of the top schools and a chronic absenteeism rate matching the high state average. This creates a significant performance gap within the district, as the other three schools, which share similar per-student funding and teacher ratios, perform exceptionally well together while Lomita Park, located in San Bruno, struggles across all measured academic areas.
