Summary:
The Valle Lindo Elementary district in South El Monte contains one elementary school, New Temple, serving about 606 students in grades K-5.
New Temple Elementary stands out for its consistent improvement, having risen in statewide rankings over the past three years to now sit in the 72nd percentile. The school performs above both district and state averages in English and Math, a notable achievement given that over two-thirds of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Furthermore, the school excels in student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate significantly better than the California average.
An interesting pattern in the data shows that while 4th graders perform very strongly in math, proficiency drops considerably in 5th grade, indicating an area for potential focus. The school's science scores, while above the state average, are its closest area to the district average. With per-student spending above many state schools and a positive trajectory, New Temple demonstrates effective support for its student population.
