Summary

Michael G. Wickman Elementary serves 710 students in grades K–6 in suburban Chino Hills, California. In 2025–26, about 76% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 76% in math, and 63% in science—each above both state and Chino Valley Unified rates. The main takeaway for families comparing nearby schools is that, despite these strong results, Wickman ranked fourth among nine nearby same-district schools in all three subjects.

Math is Wickman’s strongest result against broad benchmarks: it was 37 percentage points above the state and 25 points above the district, compared with leads of 27 and 13 points in ELA and 27 and 17 points in science. Its scores also exceeded nearby same-district schools’ averages in every subject, but Country Springs Elementary, Hidden Trails Elementary, and Rolling Ridge Elementary scored higher in each. The gap is widest against the local leader in science: Wickman trailed Country Springs by 26 points, versus 14 in ELA and 14 in math.

Results have declined since 2022–23: ELA fell 7 percentage points, math 2, and science 6, while Wickman’s leads over the state narrowed by 9, 5, and 11 points, respectively. SchoolDigger ranks Wickman 373rd of 5,804 California schools, in the 94th percentile with five stars; among nearby same-district schools, that percentile ranks fourth. Its 24.7 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25 was close to the nearby-school average of 24.6. Wickman reported 45% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, the lowest share among nearby schools reporting that same measure and year. One notable difference in SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings is for Asian students: the school ranked in the 66th percentile with three stars in 2025–26, compared with the 94th percentile and five stars overall, indicating a lower ranking on SchoolDigger’s measure of how well it serves this group.
