Summary

Henry Dalton Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 333 students in the Azusa Unified School District, operating in a high-need community where the majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school has made impressive long-term progress from very low rankings a decade ago to performing in the middle range statewide, currently holding a 2-star rating. It shows particular strengths in mathematics, where it outperforms the district average, and demonstrates remarkable effectiveness with its English Language Learner students, ranking in the 69th percentile statewide for that group. However, the school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, at 27.7%, which is higher than the state average and likely impacts overall achievement. Performance also varies by grade, with fifth graders showing strong results in both English and Math, while third-grade scores indicate an area for potential early intervention.

When compared to nearby schools, Henry Dalton operates within a district context that faces broader challenges, as Azusa Unified is ranked in the 21st percentile statewide. This contrasts sharply with neighboring districts like Glendora Unified, where schools such as La Fetra Elementary achieve much higher rankings despite lower per-student spending. This suggests that district-level factors and strategies for improving attendance, like those seen at Valley View Academy of Technical and Creative Learning (Tk-6) in Duarte Unified, could be valuable areas for focus and learning.
