Summary

Charles H. Lee Elementary is a K–5 school serving 378 students in Azusa, part of Azusa Unified. For 2025–26, SchoolDigger ranked it 3,783rd out of 5,804 California schools, at the 35th percentile with 2 stars; the district was at the 19th percentile with 1 star. The clearest academic concern is science: 15% of Lee students were proficient, compared with 21% districtwide, 36% statewide, and a 25% average across nine nearby schools.

Math is Lee’s strongest subject relative to the district and state, though it remains below the nearby-school average: 34% proficiency was 10 points above the district, 4 below California, and 3 below nearby schools’ 38% average. ELA was 35%—2 points above the district, but 15 below the state and 5 below the nearby average of 40%. Among the ten schools, Lee ranked fifth in math and sixth in ELA; its science result was fourth-lowest. Results also vary by grade: fourth-grade ELA reached 47%, 2 points above the state, while third-grade ELA was 25%, 19 below the state. Lee’s overall SchoolDigger percentile sits between nearby Clifford D. Murray Elementary at the 18th percentile and Washington Elementary at the 86th.

ELA and math have improved since 2022–23: Lee’s scores rose 6 and 13 points, respectively, and their gaps with the state narrowed. Math rebounded from 17% in 2024–25 to 34% in 2025–26. Science rose 4 points over the same period overall, but fell from its 21% peak in 2023–24 to 15%, while its gap with the state widened from 19 to 21 points. Chronic absenteeism has also declined, from 50% in 2021–22 to 24% in the latest reported year, though that is still 6 points above the state rate. Lee has 24.3 students per teacher, compared with a nearby-school average of 23. Its free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 91% in 2024–25. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Special Education Students rose to the 68th percentile in 2025–26, compared with Lee’s overall 35th percentile; for English Language Learner Students, it was at the 56th percentile in 2023–24, compared with an overall 30th percentile that year. Test counts by grade are unavailable, so grade-level differences should be read with that in mind.
