Summary

Barton Elementary is a K–5 school in Long Beach, California, serving 418 students in the Long Beach Unified area. In 2025–2026, its overall proficiency rates were below district and state results in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. Chronic absenteeism was 36%—well above the district’s 25% and the state’s 18%—making attendance the most important concern alongside low test results.

Math is Barton’s strongest subject relative to the state and district, while science is its clearest weakness. Overall math proficiency was 33%, compared with 38% statewide and 40% in the district; ELA was 33%, and science was 17%, versus 36% statewide and 31% in the district. Compared with nine nearby K–5 schools, Barton was below their average in all three subjects: 33% versus 49% in ELA, 33% versus 45% in math, and 17% versus 40% in science. It ranked second-lowest in science among the schools compared. A bright spot was fourth-grade math: 50% proficiency, above both the state’s 42% and the district’s 45%.

Results have improved over time, though challenges remain. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA proficiency rose from 23% to 33%, and math from 17% to 33%; the gaps to state results narrowed by 7 and 13 percentage points, respectively. Science rose sharply in the latest year but remained below the state. Chronic absenteeism fell from 57% in 2021–2022 to 36% in 2025–2026, though it increased from the prior year’s 35%. SchoolDigger rated Barton at the 33rd percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026, up from the 22nd percentile in 2023–2024. Its 26.1 student–teacher ratio was close to the nearby-school average of 25.9. In 2024–2025, 80% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. One notable SchoolDigger statewide ranking was for Special Education Students: Barton reached the 54th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall 33rd percentile, rising from the 9th percentile in 2023–2024.
