Summary

Don Julian Elementary serves grades K–8 in La Puente, California, and enrolls 544 students—the largest enrollment among the 11 nearby schools, just ahead of Wallen L. Andrews at 542. In 2025–2026, all-grades proficiency was 41% in English language arts (ELA), 29% in math, and 29% in science. The most important concern is that all three results were below the state averages, with math furthest behind: 29% compared with 38% statewide.

Science is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools: it ranked third of 11, with 29% proficiency, about 8 percentage points above the nearby-school average. It was also above Bassett Unified at 23%, though below California’s 36%. ELA ranked fourth among nearby schools, at 41% compared with a nearby average of 38%. Math ranked sixth, and the school’s 29% was about level with the nearby average of 29% and just below the district’s 30%. Grade-level results differ: fifth-grade ELA was 53%, above the state’s 49%, while third- and sixth-grade ELA and math results were well below state figures.

Results have not kept pace with the state over time. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, math fell from 33% to 29% as the state rose from 35% to 38%; science fell from 31% to 29% as the state rose from 30% to 36%. ELA was nearly unchanged, moving from 41% to 41%. SchoolDigger places the school at the 41st percentile statewide, with 2 stars, down from the 45th percentile in 2021–2022. In 2024–2025, 92.5% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, and the student-teacher ratio was 23.5:1, the second-highest among nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves students in special education was at the 20th percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 44th percentile the year before; its ranking for homeless students was at the 73rd percentile, up from the 45th.
