Summary

Cesar Chavez Academy is a K–8 school in Corona, California, serving 1,024 students in the Corona-Norco Unified area; it is larger than the nearby schools in this comparison, which enroll 400 to 861 students. Attendance is a standout: chronic absenteeism was 8% in 2025–26, the second-lowest rate among 11 nearby schools and well below the state’s 18%. The clearest academic concern is eighth-grade math, where 27% of students were proficient, compared with 36% statewide and 41% districtwide.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject overall: 57% of students were proficient in 2025–26, 7 percentage points above the state and 8 above the nearby-school average, though 1 point below the district. It ranked fourth among 11 nearby schools on all-grades ELA; grade 5 ELA was a bright spot at 60%. Math proficiency was 40%, just above the state rate but below the district’s; grade 6 math was stronger at 53%. Science is the weakest subject against state and district benchmarks: 30% were proficient, 6 points below the state and 11 below the district, and roughly in line with the nearby-school average. Because nearby schools serve only through grade 6, comparisons for grades 7 and 8 are limited to state and district results.

Over four reported school years, proficiency rose by 2 points in ELA, 4 in math and 4 in science, but science fell further behind the state as its score rose more quickly. In the latest year, ELA and math dipped slightly while science improved by 1 point. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 67th percentile statewide in 2025–26 and gave it 3 stars; that was down 9 percentile points from the prior year, yet fourth among 11 nearby schools. The student-teacher ratio was 23.9 in 2024–25, toward the high end of the local range. The school reported that 77% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, close to the nearby average. SchoolDigger’s English Language Learner Students ranking was at the 83rd percentile in 2023–24, compared with the school’s overall 66th percentile that year. Its Special Education Students ranking fell from the 87th percentile in 2024–25 to the 70th in 2025–26.
