Summary

Rose Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 498 students in the Escondido Union School District, operating in a high-needs community where the vast majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school's statewide ranking has seen a decline over several years, placing it in the 30th percentile, though it performs better than several district peers like Orange Glen Elementary and Central Elementary. It shows notable strengths in supporting specific groups of students, having previously earned high marks for its work with homeless students and consistently performing better with Hispanic students than its overall score would suggest. However, challenges are evident in science proficiency and in the upper grades, with 5th-grade scores being particularly low.

A significant point of comparison is the nearby Heritage K-8 Charter, which dramatically outperforms Rose and all other local district schools in both academics and attendance. Chronic absenteeism is a major area for improvement at Rose, with a rate far above the district and state averages, though it has improved significantly since the pandemic. Despite having lower per-student spending than many neighboring schools, Rose achieves comparable or better academic results than several of them, suggesting efficient use of its resources.
