Summary
Philistine Rondo School of Discovery serves 1,226 students in kindergarten through grade 6 in Eastvale, within Corona-Norco Unified. In 2025–2026, SchoolDigger ranked it 867th of 5,804 California schools, at the 85th percentile with 4 stars. The central finding for families is that the school performed above state and district averages in all three tested subjects, with its clearest advantage in math.
Philistine Rondo’s 2025–2026 proficiency was 68% in English language arts, 65% in math and 47% in science—above state results by 19, 27 and 11 percentage points, and above district results by 10, 21 and 6 points, respectively. Against nearby K–6 schools, it was modestly above peer averages of 66% in ELA, 61% in math and 45% in science. Still, it ranked fifth of nine nearby K–6 schools in ELA and fourth in math and science; Park View Elementary scored higher in all three. Results also vary by grade: sixth-grade ELA and third- and fifth-grade math are local bright spots, while six of the ten nearby schools reporting fourth-grade math scored higher.
Over four reported years, math proficiency rose by 6 percentage points, while science fell by 5; the school’s lead over the state in science narrowed by 10 points. ELA gained 1 point overall, despite a dip after 2024–2025. Attendance is a notable strength: 2025–2026 chronic absenteeism was 3%, compared with 14% districtwide and 18% statewide. Context includes a student–teacher ratio of 26.6 in 2024–2025, above the 24.9 average for same-district nearby schools, and 53% free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness percentile for African American students was 98 in 2024–2025, compared with 86 schoolwide; its percentile for Asian students was 46 in 2025–2026, versus 85 schoolwide. These subgroup rankings highlight very different standings, but do not explain them.
