Summary

Monte Vista Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 785 students in El Monte, California, operating within the Mountain View Elementary School District, which ranks in the bottom 19th percentile statewide.

Academically, the school's test scores in English, Math, and Science are below state averages, though it is one of the stronger performers within its own low-ranking district, outperforming peers like Baker Elementary and Miramonte Elementary. It shows notable strengths, ranking in the 57th percentile for serving English Language Learners and having exceptional 6th-grade math scores that beat the state average, but it faces significant challenges, including critically low 8th-grade math proficiency and a large performance gap between female and male students.

The school's situation highlights how district boundaries can affect opportunities, as nearby schools in different districts like Wallen L. Andrews (in the Whittier City district) and New Temple (in the Valle Lindo Elementary district) achieve substantially better results with similar or fewer resources per student.
