Summary

Myron D. Witter Elementary is a large K-5 public school serving 741 students in the Brawley Elementary district, standing out as a mid-performing school within its local district context.

Academically, the school consistently performs better than its district peers at J. W. Oakley Elementary, Miguel Hidalgo Elementary, and Phil D. Swing Elementary, particularly in mathematics where its scores nearly match the state average. A significant strength is its effective program for English Language Learners, which has historically earned high statewide rankings. The school also manages the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in its district and has shown impressive improvement in this area over recent years, despite operating with fewer resources per student than some neighboring schools.

When compared to higher-performing schools in nearby districts like Pine Elementary in Holtville Unified or Imperial Cross Elementary in Imperial Unified, key differences include lower chronic absenteeism and higher per-student spending at those schools. Within Myron D. Witter, performance varies, with 4th grade being particularly strong and 5th-grade math showing a notable drop, while science proficiency remains an area for growth across all grades.
