Summary

Gerald F. Litel Elementary serves 616 students in grades K–6 in Chino Hills, within Chino Valley Unified. In 2025–26, its all-grade proficiency rates were higher than both district and state rates in English language arts (ELA), math and science. The most important takeaway is that Litel performs well against those broader benchmarks but sits in the middle of its nearby same-district schools: five of nine peers scored higher in each subject.

Math is Litel’s strongest subject against the district and state: 62% of students were proficient, compared with 51% districtwide and 38% statewide. ELA was 67%, versus 63% and 49%; science was 56%, versus 45% and 36%. Locally, Litel ranked sixth of ten schools in each subject. Its science result was just above the nearby-school average of 55%, while ELA and math were below their peer averages of 69% and 64%. Results also vary by grade: fifth-grade ELA was a high point at 75%, while sixth-grade ELA (62%) was below the district’s 64%, and fifth-grade math (56%) was Litel’s lowest math result and ranked eighth among the ten schools.

Over four years, Litel’s results remained above state rates, though its ELA and math scores fell by 2 and 4 percentage points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, while science rose by 3 points. The state gaps narrowed overall in all three subjects, but science’s gap widened by 7 points in the latest year. SchoolDigger rated Litel at the 85th statewide percentile with four stars; five nearby schools ranked higher. Its student–teacher ratio was 23.8 in 2024–25, the second-lowest among the ten schools. Litel reported that 24% of students were directly certified for free meals in 2024–25; only nearby Oak Ridge Elementary and Country Springs Elementary had the same measure and year for comparison. One notable subgroup result is that SchoolDigger ranked Asian students at the 43rd statewide percentile in 2025–26, 42 points below Litel’s overall percentile and down 14 points since 2023–24. Its White-student ranking rose 17 points over that period, to the 65th percentile, though it remained below the overall ranking.
