SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,817 California Elementary Schools

Better than 23% of California elementary schools

Summary

Wilcox Elementary serves 479 students in grades K–5 in Montebello, California, within Montebello Unified. In 2025–26, 26% of students met proficiency in English language arts (ELA), 27% in math, and 25% in science. The most important concern is ELA: Wilcox’s result was 23 percentage points below the state average and 11 points below the district average.

Wilcox’s strongest comparison with nearby schools is science: its 25% proficiency rate was 6 points above the average for nearby same-district K–5 schools, and only Bella Vista Elementary scored higher among those peers. Science was also 4 points above the district, although 11 points below the state. Math was 2 points above the district but 6 points below the nearby-school average and 11 points below the state. ELA was weaker than the nearby-school average by 10 points. Fourth grade is a particular concern: its ELA proficiency was 21%, the lowest among the six same-district K–5 schools, and 14 points below the district. Peer comparisons are limited to nearby same-district K–5 schools with current results.

Over time, Wilcox’s results have not kept pace with the state: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA fell 2 points, while math rose 1 point and science rose 4; the state gaps widened in all three subjects. Chronic absenteeism improved from 41% in 2021–22 to 25% in 2025–26, but remained 6 points above the state and 7 points above the district. SchoolDigger ranked Wilcox in the 23rd percentile with 1 star in 2025–26 (4,484th of 5,804), down from the 39th percentile in 2023–24. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 20.2, and 77% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; these are context, not explanations for scores. One notable historical subgroup result: SchoolDigger placed Wilcox in the 78th percentile for how well it served English Language Learner students in 2023–24, compared with the school’s overall 39th percentile that year; no later ELL ranking was provided.
