Summary

Banyan Elementary is a consistently high-performing K-6 public school serving 572 students in the Alta Loma Elementary district, ranking in the 84th percentile among all California elementary schools.

Academically, Banyan outperforms both its district and state averages, with particular strengths in supporting specific student groups; for instance, its Hispanic, special education, and economically disadvantaged students rank in the 92nd to 96th percentiles statewide. This is notable because the school serves a more diverse student population than many higher-spending neighboring schools, such as those in the Etiwanda Elementary district like John L. Golden Elementary and Caryn Elementary, which have similar test scores but serve fewer students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Within its own district, Banyan is a standout leader in mathematics proficiency and has made impressive strides in reducing chronic student absenteeism from 25% to 8.5% in just three years. While it maintains a solid 4-star rating with moderate per-student spending, its performance is especially impressive compared to other schools in the Alta Loma Elementary district, such as Alta Loma Elementary, which spends significantly more per student but achieves lower academic results.
