South Ranchito Dual Language Academy

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,817 California Elementary Schools

Better than 23% of California elementary schools

Summary

South Ranchito Dual Language Academy is a K–5 elementary school in Pico Rivera, serving 351 students in El Rancho Unified. Its clearest concern is core-subject achievement: 2025–2026 proficiency was below the state and the average of nearby K–5 schools in English, math and science. Most importantly, math was the lowest result among the nine nearby K–5 schools, while English and science were the second-lowest.

English was the largest state shortfall: 28% proficient, 21 points below California and 17 points below the nearby average of 45%. Math was 26%, 13 points below the nearby average of 39%; science was 21%, 10 points below the nearby average of 32%. Spanish listening is a notable bright spot: 30% were proficient, compared with 27% in the district and 24% statewide. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern: it rose from 16% in 2024–2025 to 22% in 2025–2026, above the district’s 19% and state’s 18%; only Orange Grove Elementary had a higher rate among nearby schools with reported figures.

Results have improved since 2022–2023—English rose 3 points to 28%, math 3 points to 26%, and science 3 points to 21%—but the gains have not closed the state gaps overall. SchoolDigger ranks the school 4,452nd of 5,804 California schools, at the 23rd percentile and 1 star; its percentile rose 4 points from the prior year, but all nine nearby K–5 schools rank higher. The 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 21.9:1, below the nearby average of 23.3:1. The school reported 85% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, compared with a nearby average of 81%; these figures describe context, not a cause of test results. One group-specific ranking stands out: in 2023–2024, SchoolDigger placed the school at the 45th percentile for English Language Learner Students, compared with the 20th percentile overall—a 25-point difference, though still below the statewide midpoint. Nearby averages compare nine K–5 schools.
