Summary

Cleminson Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 316 students in the El Monte City School District, consistently performing above both district and state averages despite serving a population where about two-thirds of students are economically disadvantaged.

The school stands out for its strong academic results, particularly in math and science where it outperforms the district average by over 17 percentage points, and for its exceptionally low rate of chronic student absenteeism at just 5.1%. It has shown a positive trajectory, recently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 74th percentile statewide. Within its own El Monte City district, Cleminson is a higher-performing school alongside peers like Gidley Elementary and Legore Elementary.

When compared to higher-achieving schools in neighboring districts like Baldwin Stocker Elementary in Arcadia Unified or La Rosa Elementary in Temple City Unified, it's important to note those schools serve less economically disadvantaged populations. Cleminson's ability to deliver strong educational outcomes within its context, supported by increased per-student spending, makes it a notable and effective school in the area.
