Summary

Sanchez (George I.) Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 293 students in Rosemead, California, operating within the Garvey Elementary district, which is rated above average statewide.

The school performs near the state average in English and above average in Math, but its Science scores are a notable area for improvement. A significant challenge is chronic student absenteeism, which at 19.1% is the highest among nearby schools in the district and nearly double the district average. This high rate of missed school is a key differentiator when comparing Sanchez to higher-performing schools in the same district, such as Duff Language Magnet Academy and Monterey Vista Elementary, which have much lower absenteeism and stronger academic results.

While Sanchez spends more per student than some higher-achieving local schools, its academic outcomes have declined over the past several years. Performance varies considerably by grade level, with sixth grade being a relative strength in English. For parents, understanding the school's efforts to improve attendance and science instruction will be important, as these are identified areas where Sanchez differs from its more successful peers within the Garvey Elementary district.
