Summary

Rowland Avenue Elementary serves 423 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in West Covina and is part of Covina-Valley Unified. Its strongest takeaway for families is that, in 2025–2026, proficiency was above both the district and California in English language arts (ELA), math and science.

Rowland is among the strongest nearby schools in all three subjects, with science its biggest advantage over the local average. About 58% of students were proficient in ELA, 52% in math and 46% in science, compared with nearby-school averages of about 51%, 48% and 33%. Those are advantages of 6, 3 and 13 percentage points, respectively. Rowland ranked second among 11 nearby schools in ELA and third in math and science. It also exceeded state results by 8 points in ELA, 13 in math and 10 in science, and district results by 4, 9 and 12 points. Within Rowland, third grade was a high point: math proficiency was 65%, compared with 48% in fourth grade and 45% in fifth.

Results over time are mixed: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA fell 3 points, math rose 1 point and science rose 18 points, though science fluctuated after peaking in 2023–2024. SchoolDigger places Rowland at the 74th statewide percentile with four stars, third among the 11 nearby schools.
