SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,804 California Elementary Schools

Better than 21% of California elementary schools

Summary

Dickson Elementary is a K–6 school serving 566 students in Chino, in the Chino Valley Unified district, which SchoolDigger rates four stars and places at the 75th statewide percentile. The most important finding is that, despite its district’s strong standing, Dickson’s results are substantially below district and state levels and generally near the bottom of nearby schools serving the same grades.

In 2025–26, the school’s proficiency was 32% in English language arts (ELA), 22% in math and 17% in science—below state results of 49%, 38% and 36%, and district results of 63%, 51% and 45%, respectively. Its results also trailed the average for seven nearby same-district K–6 schools by 21 points in ELA, 25 in math and 20 in science. ELA and math were below every peer in the comparison; in science, Dickson scored above Walnut Avenue Elementary and Anna A. Borba Fundamental Elementary. By grade, sixth-grade ELA and third-grade math were relative bright spots, while fourth- and fifth-grade math and fifth-grade ELA were especially weak. SchoolDigger places Dickson at the 21st percentile, the second-lowest among the nearby schools listed.

Results over time are mixed: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose from 27% to 32%, but science fell from 19% to 17% as the state’s science result rose from 30% to 36%, widening the gap by 8 points. Chronic absenteeism improved from 47% in 2021–22 to 23% in 2025–26, but remained 8 points above the district and 4 above the state. SchoolDigger gives Dickson one star and ranks it 4,564th of 5,804 schools; its overall percentile fell from 26 in 2024–25 to 21 in 2025–26. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 23.2, and 88% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year—contextual figures, not explanations for test results. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves homeless students was at the 53rd percentile in 2025–26, 32 points above its overall percentile; its English learner ranking rose from the 1st percentile in 2021–22 to the 65th in 2023–24, with no current-year ranking provided.
