Summary

Magnolia Elementary is a consistently high-performing K-6 public school serving 506 students within the Upland Unified School District, where it stands out for its strong academic results and effective support for a diverse student population.

The school excels academically, with student proficiency rates significantly above both district and state averages in English, Math, and Science, and it has maintained a 4-star rating for eight consecutive years. A key strength is its exceptional support for specific student groups, ranking in the 95th percentile for Hispanic students and the 91st for Special Education students statewide. Furthermore, Magnolia fosters a strong culture of attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 10.6% that is much better than the district and state averages and shows marked improvement from previous years.

Compared to other schools in the area, Magnolia achieves its excellent outcomes efficiently, spending slightly less per student than some lower-performing schools like Upland Elementary and Sycamore Elementary. While it performs similarly to other high-achieving schools in the district such as Pepper Tree Elementary and Valencia Elementary, it notably outperforms others like Cabrillo Elementary and Citrus Elementary. An area for potential growth is strengthening 6th-grade mathematics performance to match the high achievement seen in earlier grades.
