Summary

Alicia Cortez Elementary serves 390 students in kindergarten through 6th grade in Chino, within Chino Valley Unified, a district SchoolDigger ranks 246th of 968 California districts. SchoolDigger places Alicia at the 56th statewide percentile with 3 stars for 2025–2026, near the middle of the state and nearby schools. The clearest concern is a sharp drop in math proficiency in grades 5 and 6: results were 22% and 25%, compared with 58% in grade 3 and 52% in grade 4.

Alicia’s results are close to state averages in ELA and math, but trail the district in all three tested subjects. In 2025–2026, ELA proficiency was 49% at Alicia and 49% statewide, but 63% in the district; math was 39% at Alicia, 38% statewide and 51% in the district. Science was weaker relative to both: 30% at Alicia, compared with 36% statewide and 45% in the district. Among nearby K–6 schools, Alicia ranked sixth of 10 in ELA and seventh in both math and science. Its results were slightly above the nearby-school averages in all three subjects, although its grade 5 and 6 math results were higher than only two and one nearby schools, respectively. SchoolDigger gives E. J. Marshall Elementary the same 56th-percentile, 3-star rating; Liberty Elementary, Edwin Rhodes Elementary, Vista Grande Elementary and Allegiance STEAM Academy – Thrive rank higher.

Results have risen over the four years shown, gaining 7 points in ELA, 5 in math and 3 in science from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026. The latest year brought a stronger rebound—up 5 points in ELA, 9 in math and 8 in science—but the science gap with the state widened over the four-year span. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness percentile was notably higher for Hispanic Students (76th) than for the school overall (56th), and lower for Special Education Students (36th). In 2024–2025, 83% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; Alicia’s 22.9 students per teacher was close to the nearby-school average of 23. Chronic absenteeism fell from 36% in 2021–2022 to 16% in 2025–2026; that latest rate was below the state’s 18% but above the district’s 14%.
