Summary

Glen H. Dysinger Senior Elementary is a K-6 school serving 468 students in Buena Park, part of the Centralia Elementary district, performing solidly for its community with a 3-star rating and ranking in the 62nd percentile statewide.

The school has notable strengths, including a dramatic improvement in student attendance and particularly effective support for students in special education. Compared to nearby schools with similar student demographics, such as Carl E. Gilbert Elementary and James A. Whitaker Elementary, Glen H. Dysinger achieves higher academic proficiency. It also uses its resources efficiently, delivering these results with a lower per-student spending than some neighboring schools like Valencia Park Elementary.

While performing well in its context, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past decade, and there is significant performance variation between different grade levels. Within its own district, it performs better than Centralia Elementary but below the consistently high-performing Buena Terra Elementary. Addressing these inconsistencies and building on its successful programs for attendance and special education are key areas for continued improvement.
