Summary

J. E. Van Wig Elementary is a K–5 school in La Puente serving 334 students in the Bassett Unified area. Its results vary by subject, and math is the clearest concern: 30% of students met the state standard in 2025–26, 8 points below California and below the nearby K–5 average of 32%.

The school compares more favorably in English language arts and science. Its ELA score of 45% was 4 points below the state and about half a point below the district, but 8 points above the nearby-school average; it ranked second among nine nearby K–5 schools. Science reached 33%—3 points below the state, 9 points above the district, and 9 points above the local average—tying for second among those schools. Math ranked seventh of nine nearby schools, with only two scoring lower. Overall, the local comparisons show stronger results in ELA and science than in math.

Science has improved substantially: proficiency rose from 19% in 2022–23 to 33% in 2025–26, narrowing the gap with the state from 11 points to 3. ELA and math have lost ground relative to the state over that period. SchoolDigger places the school at the 46th statewide percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26, near the middle of its nearby group; its percentile has changed little in recent years. Chronic absenteeism fell from 34% in 2021–22 to 16% in 2025–26, 2 points below both the district and state. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 22.2, the local median. That year, 91% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible; California is also marked as providing free meals statewide. SchoolDigger’s group rankings point to a notable difference: English Language Learner students ranked at the 78th percentile in 2023–24, compared with the school’s overall 46th percentile that year, while Special Education students ranked at the 16th percentile in 2025–26, versus 46th overall—a sharp decline from the group’s 49th percentile in 2022–23.
