Summary

Ben Lomond Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 506 students in the Covina-Valley Unified School District, ranking as an average-performing school statewide but showing particular strengths in supporting its student community.

The school serves a high-needs population and receives significant resources, with the highest per-student spending among its Covina-Valley Unified peers. Historically, it has been notably effective for Hispanic and low-income students, though recent years show a concerning decline in these subgroup rankings. Academically, its proficiency rates in English and Math are below the district average but are stronger than those at similar high-poverty schools like Clifford D. Murray Elementary and Magnolia Elementary. An interesting finding is that male students at Ben Lomond slightly outperform female students, which is unusual at the elementary level.

When looking at comparisons, nearby Washington Elementary achieves much higher academic results with a similar student profile and less funding, suggesting instructional practices matter greatly. Within its own district, Barranca Elementary also outperforms Ben Lomond despite similar demographics. Key challenges include high and fluctuating chronic absenteeism and a downward trend in overall state ranking. The school's investment per student provides a solid foundation to address these areas and learn from higher-performing peers.
