Summary

Shirpser Elementary is a K-6 public school serving about 440 students in the El Monte City School District, notable for its impressive and steady academic improvement over the last decade.

The school's story is one of remarkable growth, having climbed from a low ranking to now performing above the state average. It excels in supporting specific groups of students, particularly English Language Learners and students experiencing homelessness, where its effectiveness ranks among the top schools in California. Furthermore, Shirpser manages student attendance very well, with a chronic absenteeism rate much lower than the state average and better than some higher-ranked local schools like Gidley Elementary. The school also outperforms its district in science proficiency.

While Shirpser has made great strides, there are areas for attention, such as mathematics scores that currently trail state averages and a notable performance gap between male and female students. Compared to other schools in the El Monte City district, such as Rio Vista Elementary and New Lexington Elementary, Shirpser's overall ranking is still lower. Schools in neighboring districts like Temple City Unified also tend to have higher academic performance.
