Summary

Banyan Elementary serves 572 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Alta Loma, California. In 2025–26, students were proficient at rates of 68% in English language arts (ELA), 65% in math and 51% in science. The school exceeds California and Alta Loma Elementary in all three subjects, and ranks third among 11 nearby schools in each—making its consistently strong performance across subjects the clearest takeaway.

Math is Banyan’s strongest subject relative to its comparisons: its proficiency rate is 27 percentage points above the state, 12 above its district and 7 above the nearby-school average. In ELA, Banyan is ahead of the state by 19 points, the district by 1 and nearby schools on average by 5; in science, its leads are 15, 1 and 2 points, respectively, so its local advantage is smallest there. Grade 4 stands out: math proficiency is 75%, compared with 58% in the district. Grade 3 is less strong by comparison, with ELA at 61% versus 64% in the district and math at 65% versus 67%.

Math has improved over time, while ELA and science have edged down: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, math rose 8 percentage points, ELA fell 2 and science fell 1. SchoolDigger ranks Banyan in the 85th statewide percentile and gives it 4 stars; the district is at the 87th percentile with 4 stars. Banyan’s student–teacher ratio is 24.8, close to the nearby average of 24.4. In 2024–25, 47% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby-school average of 39%. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show weaker relative standing for serving Asian students: their 2024–25 percentile was 52, compared with 84 overall. Its ranking for serving Special Education Students improved, rising from the 84th percentile in 2023–24 to the 96th in 2025–26.
