Summary

Arthur F. Corey Elementary serves 341 students in grades K–5 in Buena Park, California. In 2025–26, all-grade proficiency was 51% in English Language Arts (ELA), 48% in math and 36% in science; the school outperformed Buena Park Elementary and the state in ELA and math, but was just below the state in science. The most important finding is the sharp difference in ELA across grades: fifth-grade proficiency was 70%, 20 points above the state and district, while fourth-grade proficiency was 38%, 8 points below the state and 4 below the district.

Math is the school’s strongest subject relative to the state and district: its 48% proficiency rate was 10 points above the state and 11 above the district. It was above the state in each reported grade, though its overall math result ranked sixth among the 11 nearby schools and was below their 53% average. Science is the clearest area for attention: the school’s 36% rate was just under the state’s 36%, 4 points above the district, and below the nearby-school average of 45%; it ranked fifth among nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Hispanic students fell from the 80th percentile in 2023–24 to the 65th in 2025–26, close to the school’s overall 64th-percentile ranking. For Special Education Students, SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 92nd percentile in 2023–24, compared with its overall 71st percentile that year.

Results have improved in ELA and science over time: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 10 points and science rose 6, while math increased 4 points overall after peaking at 57% in 2023–24. Science also rebounded by 10 points in the latest year. SchoolDigger places the school at the 64th statewide percentile with 3 stars; it ranks sixth among these 11 nearby schools, so its results are solid but not among the group’s highest. In 2024–25, its student-teacher ratio was 24.3, close to the nearby average of 24.9, and 74% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with 67% across nearby schools.
