Summary

George Washington Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 861 students in Norco, California, as part of the Corona-Norco Unified School District, and it serves a community where a high percentage of families qualify for economic assistance.

Academically, the school has a mixed performance profile but shows clear strengths and recent improvements. Its science scores are notably strong, outperforming both the district and state averages. However, math scores are a significant area for growth, as they lag behind. A very positive trend is the school's dramatic reduction in chronic student absenteeism over the past two years, now better than the district average. Compared to other local schools with similar student populations, such as Jefferson Elementary, Parkridge Elementary, and Coronita Elementary, George Washington performs better academically, though it trails higher-achieving schools like Corona Ranch Elementary.

The school's overall state ranking has seen a recent uptick, suggesting effective strategies may be taking hold. Performance varies considerably by grade level, with fifth grade being particularly strong in English Language Arts and science, while sixth-grade math is a notable challenge. The school receives more funding per student than some higher-performing nearby schools, such as Ronald Reagan Elementary and Lincoln Fundamental Elementary, which indicates resources are being directed to support its high-need population as it works to improve.
