Summary

Howard Cattle Elementary serves 594 students in grades K–6 in Chino, California, within the Chino Valley Unified area. Its most important challenge is that 2025–26 results were below both state and district averages in all three tested subjects: 45% in English language arts (ELA), 34% in math, and 28% in science.

Locally, the school sits around the middle of the ten nearby schools: it ranked fifth of 11 in ELA, sixth in math, and fifth in science. Its results were also below nearby-school averages in each subject: 45% versus 47% in ELA, 34% versus 39% in math, and 28% versus 31% in science. Third grade is a relative bright spot: ELA proficiency was 55%, compared with 44% statewide, and math was 50%, compared with 47%. By contrast, sixth-grade ELA was 34%, 14 points below the state result. Chronic absenteeism is a positive: the rate fell from 37% in 2021–22 to 12% in 2025–26, below the district’s 14% and the state’s 18%.

Test scores have risen since 2022–23, but not consistently or as quickly as state results in every subject. ELA increased by 1 point and math by 2 points, while each subject’s gap with the state widened by about 1 point; science increased by 7 points and its state gap narrowed by 2 points. The latest science result follows two years near 11%, so it does not yet show steady improvement. For 2025–26, SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 49th percentile statewide with 2 stars, below the district’s 75th percentile and 4 stars. Its student–teacher ratio is 23.7, close to the nearby average of 23.38. The school reported 67% of students as free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, compared with a nearby average of 78%; this is context, not an explanation for results. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also show a persistent relative weakness for White Students: the group ranked at the 20th percentile in 2024–25, versus the school overall at the 39th percentile. Hispanic Students’ ranking rose sharply, from the 36th percentile in 2024–25 to the 60th in 2025–26.
