Summary

Kwis Elementary serves 305 students in grades K–5 in Hacienda Heights, within the Hacienda la Puente Unified district. For 2025–26, SchoolDigger ranked the school 4,715th of 5,804 California schools, at the 19th percentile with 1 star; the district ranked at the 48th percentile with 2 stars. The central concern is that Kwis’s latest results are below state and district averages in ELA, math and science.

Science is Kwis’s relative bright spot, while math is its weakest subject compared with nearby K–5 schools. In 2025–26, proficiency was 28% in ELA, 20% in math and 26% in science—respectively 22, 18 and 10 percentage points below state results, and 23, 20 and 9 points below district results. Nearby K–5 schools averaged 49% in ELA, 44% in math and 34% in science, putting Kwis about 21, 24 and 9 points below those peer averages. Among nine comparable nearby schools, Kwis ranked fourth-lowest in ELA, second-lowest in math and fifth-lowest in science.

ELA and math have declined sharply in the latest year, while science has improved slightly over the longer term: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA fell from 49% to 28% and math from 37% to 20%, while science rose from 23% to 26%. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking also dropped from the 72nd percentile and 4 stars in 2021–22 to the 19th percentile and 1 star in 2025–26. Context includes a student–teacher ratio of 21.7 in 2024–25, tied for the second-lowest among nearby schools, and 80% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, the third-highest share among nearby schools with the same measure. SchoolDigger ranked Kwis at the 35th percentile for serving Special Education Students in 2025–26, compared with the school’s overall 19th percentile. Its ranking for serving male students fell from the 45th percentile to the 6th between 2024–25 and 2025–26.
