Summary

Armada Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 684 students in the Moreno Valley Unified district, and while it serves a high-need community, it has shown a remarkable decade-long journey of improvement from the bottom 5% of California schools to now outperforming about one-third of them.

When compared to other schools in its own district, like Hendrick Ranch Elementary, Serrano Elementary, Ramona Elementary, and Chaparral Hills Elementary, Armada stands out with higher proficiency rates in English, math, and science. Its most significant strength is its exceptional program for English Language Learners, whose performance ranks in the 81st percentile statewide, far exceeding both district and state averages. The school has also made impressive gains in reducing chronic student absenteeism by 42% over the last three years.

It's important for parents to know that school performance can vary significantly by district. For example, Victoriano Elementary, located less than a mile away but in the Val Verde Unified district, has higher academic scores. Within Armada, performance is strongest in the lower grades, with a noticeable drop in 5th-grade math and Spanish language arts, suggesting a key area for focus as students prepare for middle school.
