Better than 12% of California elementary schools

Summary

Cucamonga Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 452 students in Rancho Cucamonga, California, but it faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 12% of all elementary schools in the state.

The school's academic performance is notably lower than that of many nearby schools. For example, only 25% of students are proficient in English, compared to 52.85% at Corona Elementary, and just 15.94% are proficient in math, compared to 43.01% at the same school. This gap exists even though Cucamonga Elementary spends more per student ($23,915) than schools in the neighboring Central Elementary district. A concerning trend is that all schools within its own Cucamonga Elementary district, including Los Amigos Elementary and Ontario Center, rank in the bottom quartile statewide, suggesting broader district-level factors are at play.

Despite these struggles, there are some areas of relative strength and recent improvement. The school has reduced chronic absenteeism and shows better effectiveness with English Learner students than its overall score would suggest. However, math is a particular challenge, and there is a significant performance gap between male and female students. For context, Central Elementary, located less than a mile away but in a different district, achieves significantly higher academic results, highlighting the impact of district boundaries on educational opportunity in this community.
