Summary

Phil D. Swing Elementary serves 725 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Brawley, in California’s Imperial Valley. In 2025–2026, SchoolDigger ranked it in the 28th percentile statewide and gave it 1 star; among nearby schools with current rankings, it sits around the middle. The most important finding is that its math and science results exceed the Brawley Elementary School District averages, but results in all three tested subjects remain below state averages.

Math is the clearest strength relative to the district: 27% of students met the standard, compared with 23% districtwide, while science was 22% versus 20%. ELA was weaker at 33%, below the district’s 37%. Compared with the state, Phil was behind by 11 points in math, 14 in science and 16 in ELA. Among the six nearby K–5 schools, including Phil, it ranked third in each subject, placing it around the middle locally. Results also differ by grade: fourth-grade ELA and math were 9 and 13 points above district results, while fifth-grade math was 13%—8 points below the district and 24 below the state. That fifth-grade math result was lower than at every nearby K–5 peer.

Over four years, ELA has been essentially flat, math has declined by 4 points, and science has risen by 2 points, including a recent rebound. Phil’s SchoolDigger percentile has fallen from 41 in 2022–2023 to 28 now. In 2024–2025, its student-teacher ratio was 22.6, the second highest among the 11 schools compared; 88% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, versus a 69% average among nearby schools. One notable group result is SchoolDigger’s 61st-percentile ranking for Migrant Students in 2025–2026, compared with Phil’s overall 28th percentile; this ranking reflects how well the school serves that group, and its comparison group was 67 schools.
