Summary

William McKinley Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 598 students in the Corona-Norco Unified district, known for having a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Academically, the school's performance has been declining over several years, with current test scores in English, Math, and Science falling below both district and state averages; its statewide ranking places it in the middle compared to other schools in its district, performing better than some like Home Gardens Academy but significantly behind higher-achieving neighbors such as Corona Ranch Elementary and Norco Elementary. The school shows notable inconsistencies, with student performance improving in higher grades but facing a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the district average, though it has improved recently.

Interesting findings include that the school's effectiveness varies greatly for different student groups, showing historical strength with some and significant challenges with others, including English Learners and students in Special Education. Furthermore, while the school spends less per student than many nearby schools in Corona-Norco Unified, like Sierra Vista Elementary, this spending does not directly correlate with performance across the district. When compared to a school in the neighboring Alvord Unified district, such as Promenade Elementary, William McKinley's performance is lower despite similar student demographics, highlighting the overall strength of its home district and the specific challenges it faces.
