Summary:

Montebello Unified has 29 schools—17 elementary, six middle and six high schools—serving students in a range of school types and programs. The school-group averages for 2025–2026 were below the statewide all-grades benchmarks in ELA, math and science: elementary averages were 34%, 30% and 22%; middle-school averages were 37%, 23% and 22%; and high-school averages were 44%, 15% and 23%. The clearest overall takeaway is that results vary widely between schools even as every group average trails the state reference in all three subjects.

Potrero Heights Elementary is the standout, leading elementary schools with 74% ELA, 69% math and 59% science; its grade-specific results also exceeded state figures in every tested grade shown. Macy Intermediate leads middle schools at 55% ELA, 39% math and 33% science, while Schurr High leads the comprehensive high schools at 64%, 32% and 36%. At the lower end, Bandini Elementary has the lowest elementary ELA result (13%), Greenwood Elementary the lowest math (14%), and Montebello Park Elementary the lowest science (8%). Among high schools, Vail High (Continuation) is lowest in all three subjects: 8% ELA, 7% math and 4% science. Test scores for Montebello Community Day are suppressed.

Recent changes were mixed: across schools with two years of scores, average changes were about +0.3 points in ELA, −1 point in math and +2 points in science, compared with state gains of +0.5, +1 and +3 points. Exceptions include Montebello Park Elementary, up 9 ELA points, and Potrero Heights Elementary, up 15 science points. SchoolDigger’s three-year ranking percentile rose from 52 to 67 for Schurr High and from 83 to 90 for Potrero Heights Elementary, but fell from 28 to 6 for Rosewood Park. School context also varies: Potrero Heights has 380 students and a 22.5 student-teacher ratio, while Applied Technology Center pairs 59% ELA and 38% science with 13% math. For context, 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligibility was 58% at Potrero Heights and 91% at Greenwood; these figures describe school circumstances, not the cause of results.
