Summary

Bitely (Arlene) Elementary is a K–6 school in Rosemead, serving 409 students in the Garvey Elementary district. Its clearest pattern is strong English and math achievement alongside weaker science results: in 2025–2026, 61% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 60% in math, and 34% in science.

Compared with nearby schools, Bitely ranked third of 11 in ELA, fourth in math, and ninth in science; nearby averages were 54% in ELA, 55% in math, and 43% in science. Bitely also exceeded the state and district in ELA by 12 and 8 percentage points, respectively, and in math by 22 and 8 points. Science was 2 points below the state and 7 below the district. Three nearby schools—Monterey Vista Elementary, Potrero Heights Elementary, and Duff Language Magnet Academy—ranked above Bitely statewide. Nearby all-grade averages are context, as some schools serve different grade spans.

SchoolDigger placed Bitely in the 80th statewide percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026, up from the 68th percentile in 2022–2023. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 23.3, and 81% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with a nearby-school average of 70%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Asian students was 46th percentile in 2025–2026, below the school’s overall 80th percentile; for English Language Learner students, the latest available ranking was 84th percentile in 2023–2024, above the school’s overall 68th percentile that year.
