Summary

John H. Eader Elementary is a K–5 school serving 416 students in Huntington Beach, California, in the Huntington Beach City Elementary district. Its 2025–26 proficiency results are well above state and district rates, and SchoolDigger places it in the 94th statewide percentile with five stars. The clearest takeaway is that Eader combines strong overall results with a standout strength in science among nearby K–5 schools.

Science is Eader’s strongest subject against nearby K–5 peers: 71% of students were proficient, the highest result among the six schools, and above the district’s 57% and the state’s 36%.

Math was 76%, above the district’s 64% and state’s 38%, but ranked fourth among the six, behind Newland, Oka and Hawes. Fifth-grade math is the clearest academic soft spot: 67% were proficient, down 12 points from fourth grade and 13 points from third grade. Fifth-grade ELA was 76%, just 1 point above the district rate; fifth-grade science remained a strength.

Over the four years reported, science rose 10 percentage points, from 62% in 2022–23 to 71% in 2025–26, while ELA held essentially steady and math slipped 1 point. The latest SchoolDigger rating reflects a recovery from the 90th percentile in 2024–25; Eader was at the 94th percentile in both 2022–23 and 2025–26.
