Summary

Moreno Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 809 students in the Moreno Valley Unified School District, operating in a high-need community where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academic performance at the school is a significant concern, as it ranks in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools and has shown a troubling decline over the past six years. Proficiency rates in English, math, and science are below the district average. The school faces a critical challenge with chronic absenteeism, with over 36% of students missing too much school—a rate notably higher than nearby schools like Butterfield Language Academy (20.6%) and Ridge Crest Elementary (22.3%). This high rate of absenteeism is closely linked to lower academic achievement.

Despite these challenges, the school's performance varies for different student groups, and it shows relative strength with some. A key takeaway is that improvement is possible within the district, as demonstrated by Bear Valley Elementary, a nearby school with similar demographics that achieves much higher academic results. For Moreno Elementary to improve, targeted efforts to improve attendance, support English Language Learners, and strengthen upper-grade math instruction appear to be essential next steps.
