Summary

Arroyo High serves grades 9–12 in El Monte, in a community with several nearby public high schools, and enrolls 1,638 students. Its 2025–2026 results are above California and El Monte Union High averages in English, math and science, but the leads are not equally strong. The clearest takeaway for families is that English is a standout, while math is only just above the state average.

English is the strongest subject compared with the state, district and nearby peers: 68% of Arroyo students were proficient, versus 49% statewide, 62% districtwide and a 64% average among six nearby full-size high schools. Math is the narrowest advantage: 39% were proficient, just 1 percentage point above the state, 8 points above the district and 2 points below the nearby-school average of 41%. Science proficiency was 45%, 9 points above the state and 8 above the district, and essentially level with the nearby average. Among Arroyo and those six peers, it ranked third in English and fourth in both math and science. On SchoolDigger’s overall rankings, Arroyo placed fourth locally, behind Temple City High, Arcadia High and Rosemead High.

Results have moved unevenly: English rose 7 points in the latest year to 68%, but remains 3 points below its 2022–2023 level; math edged up 1 point over that span. Science jumped 29 points, from 15% in 2024–2025 to 45%, though its sharp swings make the improvement less certain as a trend. Graduation was 95% and chronic absenteeism 13% in 2025–2026; absenteeism has fallen 12 points since 2021–2022. SchoolDigger placed Arroyo at the 77th percentile statewide, with 4 stars; its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 21.1, and 84% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. A notable group result: SchoolDigger ranked Arroyo at the 98th percentile statewide for homeless students (rank 6 of 358). Its special education ranking also improved, from the 53rd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 71st in 2025–2026.
