Summary

Magnolia Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 367 students in the Azusa Unified district, operating in a community where a high percentage of families face economic challenges.

Recent academic performance at Magnolia has been volatile, with its statewide ranking dropping significantly in the latest year, placing it in the lower quarter of all California schools. While student proficiency in English, math, and science is below the state average, the school's math scores are actually stronger than the Azusa Unified district average. A notable concern is a large and growing performance gap between female and male students. Despite these academic challenges, Magnolia has the lowest rate of chronic student absences among elementary schools in its own district, which is a relative strength given the community context.

Comparisons with nearby schools reveal important context. All elementary schools within Azusa Unified, including Clifford D. Murray Elementary and Henry Dalton Elementary, perform well below schools in neighboring districts like Charter Oak Unified. For instance, Washington Elementary, just over a mile away, achieves much higher academic results. Magnolia spends more per student than any of these comparison schools, which raises questions about how resources are being used to support student learning across the district.
