Better than 23% of California elementary schools

Summary

Withrow Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 583 students in the Lake Elsinore Unified School District, consistently ranking in the lower quarter of California elementary schools with proficiency rates in English, math, and science significantly below state averages.

The school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, at 28.6%, which is notably higher than many nearby schools like Luiseno (7.8%) and Alberhill Elementary (15.8%), and this appears closely linked to its academic struggles. While Withrow serves a high-need population, its academic performance is lower than other schools with similar demographics, such as Earl Warren Elementary and Railroad Canyon Elementary, and it has declined from a 50th to a 23rd percentile ranking over the past decade.

Despite overall challenges, Withrow shows relative strengths in supporting specific student groups, such as homeless students. The wide performance variation within the district, from top performers like Tuscany Hills Elementary to other struggling schools, indicates that improvement is possible with targeted strategies to address attendance and instructional consistency across grade levels.

I agree, not to mention they shut it down ALL THE TIME. WE had a fire in ANOTHER CITY and they closed it down. .....the test scores speak for themselves and the parents are on another level of not caring. Close Quote
