While Maie Ellis Elementary has consistently lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages, the school has shown strong performance for its migrant student population, ranking in the top 5-12 schools in California for this subgroup. However, the school's performance for other subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities, is more mixed. Additionally, Maie Ellis Elementary faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and a large percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which may be contributing factors to its lower academic performance.
