Summary

Emery Park Elementary is a 383-student school serving kindergarten through grade 8 in Alhambra, part of Alhambra Unified. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates were above California’s in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, but chronic absenteeism was 20%, compared with 9% in the district and 18% statewide. It also exceeded the rates at all five nearby Alhambra Unified K–8 schools, which ranged from 9% to 15%—making absenteeism the clearest concern alongside otherwise above-state test results.

The school’s strongest comparison is math relative to the state: 48% of students were proficient, 10 percentage points above California, though 7 points below the district and 3 below the nearby K–8 average. ELA proficiency was 57%, 7 points above the state, 8 below the district, and 3 below nearby peers—the closest of the three subjects to its local-peer average. Science was the weakest locally: 41% were proficient, 5 points above the state but 11 below the district and 6 below nearby peers. Across six local K–8 schools, Emery ranked fourth in ELA, fifth in math, and fourth in science. Results also varied by grade: eighth-grade math led those schools, while seventh-grade ELA and math were the lowest.

Results have improved unevenly: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, math rose 4 percentage points and science rose 14, while ELA slipped 1; year-to-year swings make a steady upward trend hard to claim. SchoolDigger’s overall rating rose from the 46th percentile and two stars in 2024–25 to the 69th percentile and three stars in 2025–26, though six of 10 nearby schools ranked higher. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves Hispanic students rose to the 75th percentile, up 30 points from the previous year; its measure for Female Students reached the 79th percentile, up 29 points. The school’s student-teacher ratio was 19.7 in 2024–25, and 51% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; these figures describe the school’s context, not the cause of its results.
