Summary

Pine Elementary is a K-8 public school serving about 210 students in the Holtville Unified district, and it stands out as a consistently high-performing school that ranks in the top third of all California elementary schools.

The school excels in several key areas, most notably in its strong academic results and exceptional student attendance. In English and Math, Pine Elementary's students outperform both the state average and nearly all nearby schools, including Emmett S. Finley Elementary in the same district. Perhaps its most impressive achievement is a chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.9%, which is dramatically lower than the state average and that of comparison schools like Booker T. Washington Elementary or those in the Brawley Elementary district, where rates are often over 20%.

Pine Elementary shows a clear, decade-long trend of improvement and is particularly effective in supporting its student population. The school's success appears connected to specific factors like its smaller size compared to larger schools in the region and efficient use of resources, performing well without being the highest-spending school. While it shows some typical dips in middle school grades, its overall trajectory is positive, making it a standout choice for families in the Holtville area.
