Summary

De Anza Elementary serves 421 students in grades K–5 in Baldwin Park, California. In 2025–26, its results were generally stronger than those of several nearby schools, but below state proficiency levels in English language arts (ELA), math and science. The clearest concern is ELA, where the school was 11 percentage points below the state.

Math is the school’s strongest subject in the local comparison: 36% of students were proficient, 9 points above Baldwin Park Unified and 5 points above the average for five nearby K–5 schools with comparable results. De Anza ranked second among those six schools in math, including the highest results in fourth and fifth grade. ELA proficiency was 38%, close to the nearby-school average of 39%, but 2 points below the district and 11 below the state. Science proficiency was 29%—2 points above the district and 7 below the state—and fourth among the six local K–5 schools.

Math has made the strongest recent progress: proficiency rose 10 percentage points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, narrowing its gap with the state from 8 points to 2, though the improvement was not steady. ELA rose 2 points overall, but its gap with the state widened from 10 to 11 points; science fell 4 points and shifted from 3 points above the state to 7 below. SchoolDigger ranked De Anza at the 43rd statewide percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26, up from the 36th percentile the year before but below its 50th-percentile standing in 2023–24. Its reported free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 94% in 2024–25, the highest among nearby schools reporting the same measure and year; its student–teacher ratio was 21 students per teacher. SchoolDigger’s English Language Learner Students subgroup ranking was notably stronger than the school’s overall standing: the group ranked at the 55th, 73rd and 75th percentiles in 2021–22 through 2023–24, compared with overall percentiles of 40, 43 and 50. The supplied subgroup figures end in 2023–24, so they do not show whether that advantage continued.
