Summary

Luiseno is a K-8 elementary school serving 819 students in Corona, part of the Lake Elsinore Unified School District, and it stands out for having one of the best student attendance records in the area.

The school's most remarkable strength is its exceptionally low rate of chronic absenteeism at 7.8%, which is less than half the average for both its district and the state, indicating a very strong culture of daily attendance and family engagement. Academically, Luiseno consistently performs above the average for Lake Elsinore Unified schools in English, math, and science, and it shows particularly strong results for students in special education programs. However, its test scores are generally below the state average, and there is a noticeable drop in math proficiency in the middle grades before a recovery in 8th grade.

When compared to nearby schools, Luiseno is the second-highest performing elementary school in its own district, behind Tuscany Hills Elementary. Yet, schools in the neighboring Corona-Norco Unified district, such as Temescal Valley Elementary and Dr. Bernice Jameson Todd Elementary, achieve significantly higher academic rankings, suggesting broader district factors influence performance. Luiseno's key challenge is leveraging its outstanding attendance to reach higher academic achievement, especially for its male students who currently perform below the school's female students.

Open Quote Mrs. Danco is a wonderful teacher. This elementary school is GREAT! Close Quote

Monday, June 2, 2014

Open Quote The K - 5 grades, with a few exceptions, are a wonderful experience. The middle school staff are well intentioned, most are prepared and educated in regards to subject matter being taught and are commendable in their efforts. Unfortunately, the rest of the middle grade teaching staff is unprepared to teach this age set as they are unable to control the "adult sized" children that interrupt class, making it difficult for other students to learn. Children that are disruptive, as well as bullies, are allowed free reign, while the bullied children get to spend their lunch in a classroom in protective custody. Rest assured, the principal will take the side of the staff - right or wrong. As for scores and grades, while there are the teachers that do their best to provide good instruction, sorrily, there are those that frustrate easily, feeling that humiliating a child is an acceptable practice, leaving the child to fail miserably or receive a bloated grade to keep the herd moving through. Either situation do not leave a child in a prime position for success. Close Quote
