Summary

Cubberley K-8 is a large, consistently high-performing public school serving about 950 students from kindergarten through 8th grade in the Long Beach Unified district, maintaining a 4-star rating and ranking in the top 15-20% of California elementary schools for nearly a decade.

The school demonstrates notable strengths, including exceptional academic results for its Hispanic students, a chronic absenteeism rate significantly better than the district average, and strong science proficiency. It operates efficiently, achieving these solid outcomes with moderate per-student spending and a class size slightly larger than some neighbors. While consistently strong, Cubberley K-8 is outperformed in overall rank by nearby Prisk Elementary and Newcomb Academy within its own district, and by Richard Henry Lee Elementary in the neighboring Los Alamitos Unified district.

Areas for potential growth include mathematics, where proficiency lags behind English, especially in the middle school grades. The school's K-8 structure and larger size offer different opportunities and challenges compared to the typical K-5 elementary schools around it, such as MacArthur Elementary and Burcham Elementary. Overall, Cubberley provides a stable, quality educational option with a proven track record of effectiveness across its diverse student community.

Open Quote Excellent parental involvement, a high standard of academics expected and in the 3 years that both of my daughters have spent at Cubberley, they've been lucky to have had great teachers and experiences. Even more impressive considering the deep cutting the school has had to do... Close Quote
