Summary
Wing Lane Elementary serves 384 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in La Puente, in the Hacienda la Puente Unified area. In 2025–2026, 23% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 25% in math, and 16% in science—below both the state and district in all three subjects. The most important finding is that ELA is the school’s clearest comparative weakness: its result was 16 percentage points below the nearby-school average, the largest gap across the three subjects.
Math is the relative bright spot, though results remain below comparison schools and systems. Compared with state proficiency rates, Wing Lane was behind by 27 points in ELA, 14 in math, and 20 in science; compared with district rates, it was behind by 28, 16, and 19 points, respectively. The 10 nearby schools averaged 39% in ELA, 30% in math, and 23% in science, putting Wing Lane 16, 5, and 7 points lower. Within the school, grade 5 math is a particular concern: 12% were proficient, compared with 41% in grade 3; only Northam had a lower grade 5 result among nearby schools serving that grade. Absenteeism is also worth noting: 23% of Wing Lane students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, versus 17% districtwide and 18% statewide.
Results have changed unevenly over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, math proficiency rose 12 points and science rose 6, while ELA fell 2 points. SchoolDigger ranked Wing Lane in the 15th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, with one star; that was 35 percentile points below its 2018–2019 standing. In 2024–2025, 84% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. The student-teacher ratio was 24 in 2024–2025, compared with a nearby-school average of 22.8. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves Special Education Students was at the 37th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall 15th percentile. For Homeless Students, its 2024–2025 ranking was at the 89th percentile, versus 19th overall.
