Summary

In Norco, George Washington Elementary serves 861 students in kindergarten through sixth grade in Corona-Norco Unified. SchoolDigger gives it a 2025–2026 statewide rank of 2,964 out of 5,804, at the 49th percentile and 2 stars. Its most important challenge is that all-grades proficiency in English language arts, math, and science is below both state and district results.

Compared with 10 nearby schools, the school ranked seventh in English language arts and math and sixth in science; its results were 46%, 34%, and 26%, respectively, versus nearby averages of 48%, 38%, and 28%. English language arts is its closest result to state and district benchmarks: 46% proficient, 4 points below the state and 12 below the district. Science is furthest behind, at 26%—10 points below the state and 15 below the district. Sixth grade stands out as a strength: English language arts proficiency was 64%, above the state’s 48% and district’s 63%; math was 41%, above the state’s 37% but below the district’s 51%. In contrast, third-grade English language arts and fifth-grade math were well below state results.

Over four reported school years, English language arts rose from 38% to 46% and math from 26% to 34%, while science fell from 30% to 26% and remained volatile. Chronic absenteeism improved from 29% in 2021–2022 to 13% in 2025–2026, below the latest state rate of 18%. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 22.6, below the nearby-school average of 23.3. That year, 78% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; California provides free meals to all students statewide, so read that eligibility measure in context. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves White Students was at the 25th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with the schoolwide 49th percentile; its ranking for Special Education Students rose from the 43rd to the 60th percentile. Year-to-year test results are schoolwide and do not track the same students.
