Summary:

The Valle Lindo Elementary district in South El Monte consists of two schools, New Temple (grades K-5) and Dean L. Shively (grades 6-8), serving 895 students and ranking above average statewide.

Overall, the district's students perform better than the state average in English, math, and science. Comparing the two schools, New Temple Elementary is the stronger performer, with higher test scores in core subjects and a much lower rate of chronic student absenteeism (13.8%) than the middle school. Dean L. Shively Middle School shows a noticeable drop in math proficiency and struggles with a chronic absenteeism rate of 20.5%, which is higher than the district and state averages.

Key areas for families to note include a significant spending difference between the schools and a pattern of declining math scores in 5th and 6th grades. The district has shown it is possible to achieve good results, but supporting students through the transition to middle school, particularly in math and attendance, appears to be an ongoing focus.
