Summary

Macy Elementary is a K–6 school in La Habra’s Lowell Joint School District, serving 413 students. In 2025–2026, its proficiency results were 62% in ELA, 57% in math, and 45% in science—above both state averages (49%, 38%, and 36%) and district averages (58%, 50%, and 40%). That across-the-board advantage over state and district results is the school’s most important strength.

Compared with nearby schools, Macy ranks fourth among 11 schools in all-grades ELA, math, and science, and its results are above the nearby-school average in each subject. Within Lowell Joint, it leads in ELA and ranks second in math and science, behind Meadow Green Elementary in those two subjects. Grade 3 is the clearest weak spot: Macy’s ELA proficiency is 49%, below the district’s 52%, and its math proficiency is 51%, below the district’s 56%. Later grades generally do better; grade 5 math is a particular strength at 59%, higher than any nearby school’s reported grade-5 result.

Results have climbed since 2022–2023: proficiency rose 20 points in ELA, 19 in math, and 11 in science, while the state’s gains were smaller in each subject. Macy’s SchoolDigger statewide standing also improved, from the 70th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 79th in 2025–2026; it ranks 1,231 of 5,804 schools and has four stars. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for White Students rose from the 39th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 70th in 2025–2026, a notable improvement in the school’s relative standing for this group. Macy’s student-teacher ratio is 22.9, near the nearby average of 23.6. In 2024–2025, 49% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, below the nearby-school average of 65%; these figures offer context, not an explanation for test results.

Tuesday, March 24, 2020

I have been a Macy parent since 2001. With my last currently in the 5th grade. My two older children use to be in private school before Macy. I really was hesitant to make the switch but was not disappointed. The teachers really care about there students. PTA and parent involvement is awesome. We love our Macy family. Close Quote
