Summary

Scott Avenue Elementary is a K–5 school in Whittier, California, serving 494 students in the East Whittier City Elementary School District. Its 2025–26 SchoolDigger ranking puts it at the 60th percentile statewide, with 3 stars. The key concern for families comparing local options is that Scott’s results generally lag those of nearby K–5 schools, with its weakest local standing in science.

Math is Scott’s strongest subject relative to the state, while science is its weakest compared with nearby schools. In 2025–26, 44% of Scott students met the math standard, 5 points above California’s rate, but 7 points below the district’s. In ELA, 48% met the standard—1 point below the state and 12 points below the district. Science proficiency was 34%, 2 points below the state and 7 points below the district. Among seven nearby K–5 schools, average proficiency was 58% in ELA, 52% in math, and 40% in science; Scott was 10, 9, and 6 points below those averages, respectively. Among those schools plus Scott, it ranked second-lowest in science.

Scott’s earlier advantages over the state in math and science have narrowed: since 2022–23, its math proficiency fell 7 points while the state rose 4, and science fell 8 points while the state rose 6. Science did improve by 7 points in the latest year, but remained below its earlier level. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile fell from 70 in 2023–24 to 60 in 2025–26; its current standing is lower than seven nearby schools, higher than two, and tied with one. One notable subgroup result is that SchoolDigger ranked Scott’s effectiveness for Special Education Students at the 34th percentile in 2025–26, up from the 6th percentile the previous year, but still 26 points below its overall percentile. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 24.4, close to the nearby average of 23.7; 59% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, similar to the nearby average of 59%.
