Summary

Washington Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 421 students in Glendora, CA, and it stands out as a high-performing school within the Charter Oak Unified district, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the top 21% of all California schools.

The school's most impressive achievement is its strong academic results, especially considering the needs of its student community. For example, 62% of students are proficient in English and 58% in Math, which is significantly higher than both the district and state averages. This "Washington Advantage" is clear when comparing it to other schools in Charter Oak Unified like Willow Elementary, Glen Oak Elementary, and Cedargrove Elementary, which serve similar student populations but have proficiency rates 15 to 25 points lower.

Washington Elementary achieves outcomes comparable to schools in wealthier districts like La Fetra Elementary in Glendora Unified and Gladstone Elementary in Bonita Unified, despite facing greater economic challenges. Its performance is historically stable, it operates cost-effectively, and it serves as a strong model of educational effectiveness within its community.
