Summary

Ben Lomond Elementary serves 506 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Covina, within the Covina-Valley Unified district, and is one of 11 nearby schools in this comparison. Its clearest academic concern is English language arts (ELA): 40% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, 9 percentage points below the state and 13 below the district, placing the school ninth among the 11 nearby schools.

Results vary considerably by subject. Math proficiency was 37%, the closest of the three subjects to the state result, though still 2 points below the state, 6 below the district, and 4 below the nearby-school average; Ben Lomond ranked seventh of 11 nearby schools in math. Science is the school’s strongest subject relative to nearby schools: 34% were proficient, ranking third of 11 and 6 points above their average. Science was essentially level with the district, but 2 points below the state. ELA is also weak compared with the nearby group’s 46% average. A bright spot in math is grade 5, where 38% were proficient—1 point above the state and the third-highest result among the 11 schools.

Results over time show ELA and science losing ground relative to the state, while math has been nearly flat: ELA proficiency fell 6 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, and its state gap widened by 9 points; science fell 1 point and shifted from 5 points above the state to 2 below. Math changed only from 36.7% to 36.6%, but moved from 2 points above the state to 2 below.
