Summary

Cullen Elementary is a consistently high-performing K-5 public school serving 569 students in the Glendora Unified School District, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the top 20% of California schools.

Academically, Cullen stands out for its strong and steady results, particularly in mathematics where it leads other Glendora Unified elementary schools like Sutherland and La Fetra. The school is also notable for its exceptionally effective support for certain student groups and for managing one of the best attendance rates in the area, with chronic absenteeism dropping to just 7.5%. It achieves these strong outcomes while using its resources efficiently compared to some neighboring schools, such as Magnolia Elementary in Azusa Unified, which spends significantly more per student.

While Cullen is a top performer within its district, cross-district comparisons show that schools like Arma J. Shull Elementary in Bonita Unified rank even higher statewide. Within Glendora Unified, there is a performance range, with schools like Stanton Elementary ranking lower, highlighting Cullen's consistent strength. The school's performance is commendable across its diverse student population, though there are opportunities to strengthen support in specific areas like science proficiency and for certain grade-level transitions.
