Summary

Caryn Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 553 students in Alta Loma, California, and is part of the high-performing Etiwanda Elementary School District, consistently ranking in the top 15% of all elementary schools in the state.

Academically, Caryn is a strong and steady performer, with students scoring well above state averages in English, math, and science. It holds its own within its district, performing comparably to schools like Grapeland Elementary and generally outperforming neighboring schools in the Alta Loma Elementary district, such as Deer Canyon Elementary and Hermosa Elementary. A standout strength is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 4.9%, which is the best among local schools and indicates a very strong culture of daily attendance and family engagement.

The school is particularly effective in supporting all students to succeed. It shows remarkable results for students from low-income families, Hispanic students, and those in special education, with these groups ranking in the 91st to 94th percentiles statewide. While not the absolute top school in its district—schools like John L. Golden Elementary and Carleton P. Lightfoot Elementary rank higher—Caryn delivers these excellent and equitable outcomes efficiently, achieving strong results with moderate per-student spending compared to some peers.
