Summary

Rice (Eldridge) Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 291 students in Rosemead, CA, as part of the Garvey Elementary district, which is generally well-regarded statewide.

The school has made impressive strides in improving student attendance, with its chronic absenteeism rate dropping to 8.3%, which is notably better than both the district and state averages. Academically, its performance is mixed; while it meets or slightly exceeds state averages in some subjects like Mathematics, its overall statewide ranking has gradually declined in recent years. It's important to note that the school invests significantly more per student than other nearby schools like Dewey Avenue Elementary or Monterey Vista Elementary, yet some of those schools achieve higher academic results.

When looking at performance within different student groups, the school shows its greatest strength in supporting students from low-income families. However, there are noticeable inconsistencies in performance between grade levels, with sixth graders performing much better in math than fifth graders. Parents may want to explore how the school's practices compare to higher-performing schools in the same district, such as Duff Language Magnet Academy, which excels in both academics and attendance with similar resources.
