Summary

Mattie Lou Maxwell is a K–6 elementary school in Anaheim, California, serving 577 students in the Magnolia Elementary area. Its clearest concern is English language arts (ELA): in 2025–26, 34% of students were proficient, 15 percentage points below the state and below local comparisons, with results trailing the state in every tested grade.

Science is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools, while ELA is its weakest. Science proficiency was 33%, above the nearby-school average of 30% and the district’s 31%, though 3 points below the state’s 36%. ELA proficiency was 34%, compared with 47% nearby, 48% in the district and 49% statewide; among 11 nearby K–6 schools, Mattie Lou Maxwell ranked second-lowest. Math was also below each comparison: 32% proficient, versus 39% nearby, 41% in the district and 38% statewide. It ranked fourth-lowest among the 11 nearby schools in math.

Results show some positive movement, but academic standing remains mixed. Math proficiency rose 3 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, yet the gap with the state widened by 1 point. Science rose 6 points over those years, although it fluctuated considerably. Chronic absenteeism improved from 33% in 2021–22 to 15% in 2025–26, below the state’s 18% and the district’s 16%. SchoolDigger gave the school a 38th-percentile ranking and 2 stars in 2025–26, up 4 percentile points from the previous year but down from the 60th percentile in 2015–16. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 23, near the nearby-school average of 22, and 85% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings suggest stronger relative effectiveness for Homeless Students (81st percentile) and Special Education Students (77th percentile) than for the school overall.
