Summary

Perdew Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 589 students in the Etiwanda Elementary district, consistently earning a 4-star rating and outperforming California state averages in all core subjects.

Within its own high-performing district, Perdew's academic results are solid but fall below the Etiwanda Elementary average, particularly in science, and it trails nearby schools like John L. Golden Elementary and Carleton P. Lightfoot Elementary. However, the school demonstrates exceptional effectiveness with specific student groups, ranking in very high percentiles statewide for English Language Learners and students in special education. A notable area for improvement is chronic absenteeism, which at 14.0% is higher than the district average and most neighboring schools, though it has improved significantly since the pandemic.

When compared to schools in the neighboring Fontana Unified district, such as Almond Elementary or Redwood Elementary, Perdew's performance is stronger across the board, highlighting the influence of district-level support. The school spends more per student than some higher-performing district peers, indicating that resources alone don't determine outcomes. Parents should note that while Perdew is a mid-performer in its district, it provides a notably stronger academic environment than many nearby schools in other districts.
