Summary

Price (Maude) Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 757 students in the Downey Unified School District, consistently performing as a top-tier school in the area despite serving a community with high economic need.

The school excels academically, with student test scores in English, math, and especially science significantly above both district and state averages. A major strength is its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 13.4%, which is far better than nearby schools like Rio San Gabriel Elementary (26.4%) and Magee Academy of Arts & Sciences (26.3%), and represents a dramatic improvement from just a few years ago. Price Elementary also shows a powerful pattern of student growth, with fifth graders performing much stronger than the district average, indicating effective teaching throughout the upper grades.

When compared to other schools, Price stands out within Downey Unified, performing on par with schools like Unsworth (Edith) Elementary and ahead of others. The advantage is even clearer when looking at schools in neighboring districts such as Montebello Unified; for example, Suva Elementary, less than a mile away, has proficiency rates less than half of Price's. With eight consecutive years as a 4-star school and rankings in the top quarter of all California elementary schools, Price (Maude) Elementary demonstrates consistent, high-quality education.
