Summary
Mission Bell Elementary is a K–6 school in Jurupa Valley, California, with 370 students in Jurupa Unified. In 2025–2026, its proficiency was 16% in English language arts, 15% in math, and 4% in science. All three results were below district and state levels, and its SchoolDigger ranking was at the 3rd percentile statewide. The most important finding is that Mission Bell had the lowest results in all three subjects among the five nearby schools that also serve K–6, with science the clearest concern.
Math is Mission Bell’s strongest subject relative to the district and state, while science is its weakest: the school trailed the district by 6 points in math, compared with 14 points in science, and its state gaps were 24 and 32 points, respectively. The same pattern appears among nearby K–6 schools. Mission Bell’s math result of 15% was below their 18%–27% range and 22% average; its science result of 4% was below their 8%–22% range and 18% average. Its ELA result of 16% was also below their 22%–34% range and 29% average. Fourth grade is a particular low point: ELA was 9% and math was 7%, both the lowest among same-grade nearby peers.
Results have changed little in ELA and math, while science declined sharply in the latest year. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA stayed at about 16%, math rose from 13% to 15%, and science fell from 9% to 4%; the state science gap widened by 10 points over that period. SchoolDigger gave the school 0 stars, and chronic absenteeism was 24% in 2025–2026, higher than the district’s 24% and the state’s 18%, despite improvement from 41% in 2021–2022. As context, 87% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 21.7 that year, compared with a nearby-school average of 21.1. One notable subgroup result: SchoolDigger placed English Language Learner Students at the 27th percentile in 2023–2024, up from the school’s overall 9th percentile that year, suggesting a relative strength in how the school served this group.
