Summary

Maxson Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 433 students in El Monte, part of the Mountain View Elementary district, and has shown remarkable academic improvement and attendance recovery in recent years.

Within its own district, Maxson is a standout performer, ranking significantly higher than schools like Willard F. Payne Elementary and Miramonte Elementary, particularly in math and science. The school excels at supporting vulnerable student groups, such as those from low-income families and English learners, and has dramatically reduced chronic absenteeism from over 42% to just 15.3% since 2022. However, performance tends to decline in the upper grades, especially in 5th and 6th-grade math, which is an area the school is likely focused on improving.

When compared to schools in neighboring districts, a different picture emerges. While Maxson leads within the Mountain View Elementary district, it lags behind similar schools in other areas, such as Wilkerson Elementary in the El Monte City district or Wallen L. Andrews in Whittier City. This suggests that broader district-level factors influence performance, and Maxson's strong results within its own challenging context highlight effective school-level leadership and programs.
