Summary

Arthur F. Corey Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 341 students in the Buena Park Elementary district, standing out as a strong performer within its local district despite the area's economic challenges.

The school is particularly effective at supporting its students, with those from low-income families and those receiving special education services historically achieving high statewide rankings. It significantly outperforms other schools in its own district, like Carl E. Gilbert Elementary and Mabel L. Pendleton Elementary, in core subjects like math and English. However, when compared to top schools in neighboring districts such as Centralia Elementary, like Los Coyotes Elementary or Buena Terra Elementary, Corey's overall ranking is more moderate, highlighting how district-level factors can influence school performance.

Corey spends more per student than many nearby schools, but faces challenges with chronic absenteeism and shows a dip in 5th-grade math and science scores. Its performance has been steady over time, and its ability to deliver solid academic results for its student population in its district context is a key strength for families to consider.
