Summary

Allen Avenue Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 467 students in San Dimas, part of the high-performing Bonita Unified School District, and it ranks solidly above the state average academically.

The school's greatest strength is its exceptional student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of only 8%, which is significantly better than the district and state averages and represents a dramatic improvement over the past few years. Academically, Allen Avenue outperforms California averages in English, Math, and Science, though it trails behind other top schools in its own district like Arma J. Shull Elementary and Oak Mesa Elementary. When compared to schools in neighboring districts, such as Willow Elementary or Sumner Elementary, Allen Avenue performs favorably.

An important trend for parents to note is that student test scores tend to decline in the upper grades, particularly in 5th grade science and math, suggesting a potential area of focus for the school. The school manages its resources efficiently, maintaining a relatively low student-teacher ratio despite having lower per-student spending than some district peers. Overall, Allen Avenue is a good school with a very positive climate for attendance, positioned within a strong district where it has clear opportunities to learn from the highest-performing schools.

Terrible principal and office staff. They are always rude and unwelcoming to parents and students. This is definitely the worst elementary school in the district. Debbie Grenier should be fired. The students deserve a caring, empathetic principal. Close Quote
