Summary

Monte Vista Elementary serves 785 students in grades K–8 in El Monte, California. In 2025–26, 38% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 24% in math, and 16% in science. The most important finding is that proficiency was below the state in all three subjects, with science showing the largest gap: 20 percentage points below California’s 36% rate.

ELA is Monte Vista’s strongest subject relative to nearby schools, while science is weakest. Compared with the Mountain View Elementary district, the school was 6 points higher in ELA and 4 points higher in math; science was nearly level (16.1% versus 16.4%). Among nearby K–8 schools, it outscored Parkview Elementary in ELA and math, but trailed Potrero Elementary and Wallen L. Andrews in both; in science, it was below all three. Sixth grade is a relative bright spot: ELA proficiency was 48.3%, about even with the state’s 48.0%, and math was 43%, above the state’s 37%.

Scores have risen since 2022–23—by 1 point in ELA and 4 in math—but the state gap widened in ELA and science, while narrowing only slightly in math. Monte Vista’s SchoolDigger overall ranking fell from the 34th percentile in 2024–25 to the 22nd percentile in 2025–26, with a 1-star rating. Its student–teacher ratio was a comparatively low 18.7 in 2024–25, tied for the lowest among nearby schools, while 91% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Special Education Students was notably stronger than the overall result: the school was at the 57th percentile with 3 stars, compared with the overall 22nd percentile and 1 star.
