Summary

Badillo Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 442 students in the Charter Oak Unified School District in Covina, CA, where recent academic performance has shown some volatility and currently ranks below many neighboring schools.

Academically, the school's test scores in English, math, and science are below both district and state averages, with a particularly pronounced gap in science proficiency. Its performance has been inconsistent year-to-year, recently declining from a 3-star to a 2-star rating. While the school faces challenges, it has shown historical strength in supporting specific student groups, such as those in special education. A significant concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 21.2%, which is higher than the state average and correlates with performance trends; nearby schools like Washington Elementary and Mesa Elementary have both higher scores and much lower absenteeism.

Comparisons within the same district reveal that schools with similar student demographics, like Willow Elementary, achieve significantly higher rankings, indicating that challenges are not solely due to district-wide factors. Furthermore, schools in neighboring districts such as Walnut Valley Unified and Covina-Valley Unified consistently outperform Charter Oak schools. The data suggests Badillo Elementary has the capacity for improvement, but needs to address attendance and specific instructional gaps, especially in early literacy and math across grade levels.
