Summary

Sutherland Elementary is a well-regarded K-5 public school serving 488 students in the Glendora Unified district, consistently ranking in the top 25% of all California elementary schools.

While Sutherland's academic performance is solid and it excels at maintaining excellent student attendance, the school's statewide ranking has been on a downward trend over the past few years. Its test scores in English and Math are above both district and state averages, but there is a notable drop in proficiency in 5th-grade Mathematics and Science. The school spends more per student than many of its neighbors, yet this hasn't prevented the decline in its relative standing. Interestingly, Arma J. Shull Elementary, located less than half a mile away in the higher-performing Bonita Unified district, achieves elite academic results with fewer resources per student.

Compared to other local schools, Sutherland occupies a strong middle position. It significantly outperforms schools in the struggling Charter Oak Unified district, like Glen Oak Elementary, but lags behind top-tier schools in the Bonita district such as Oak Mesa Elementary. Within its own district, it performs similarly to peers like Sellers Elementary and Cullen Elementary. Key areas for the school to address include improving upper-grade STEM instruction and understanding why increased funding has not reversed the slide in academic rankings.
