Summary

Jordan Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 516 students in Whittier, California, as part of the Lowell Joint district, ranking solidly above the state average academically.

The school is particularly effective, outperforming many nearby schools with similar student populations; it achieves higher English and Math proficiency than Olita Elementary and Macy Elementary despite serving more students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Furthermore, Jordan Elementary has made significant progress in improving student attendance, now boasting a lower chronic absenteeism rate than several neighbors like Orchard Dale Elementary and Walnut Elementary. It accomplishes these results while operating with lower per-student spending than other schools in its own district.

While performing well overall, the school's mathematics scores are a relative area for growth compared to its English scores. There is also room to learn from the even higher academic achievement seen at some nearby schools in other districts, such as Murphy Ranch Elementary and Leffingwell Elementary. Within its own Lowell Joint district, Jordan is a solid, middle-performing school, notably outperforming Olita Elementary but trailing the top-performing Meadow Green Elementary.
