Summary

Twin Lakes Elementary is a public school in El Monte serving grades 3–8, with 502 students. In 2025–2026, 27% of students were proficient in English language arts, 15% in math and 18% in science. These results were below state rates in all three subjects. The clearest concern is that Twin Lakes had the lowest all-grade proficiency rates in ELA, math and science among the 10 nearby schools with comparable reported results.

Science is the school’s strongest subject relative to its district, but not to the state or nearby schools: its 18% proficiency rate was 2 points above the Mountain View Elementary district’s 16%, yet 18 points below the state and 17 points below the nearby-school average of 35%. In ELA and math, Twin Lakes was below both the district and state: its rates were 4 points below the district in each subject, and 22 points below the state in ELA and 23 points below in math. The weakness is especially pronounced in grades 7–8: eighth-grade math proficiency was 8%, 28 points below the state; eighth-grade ELA was 20%, 29 points below. Sixth-grade math was a relative bright spot at 32%, the third-highest among 10 nearby schools with reported results.

Math has declined over time: proficiency fell from 19% in 2022–2023 to 15% in 2025–2026, while the state rate rose, widening Twin Lakes’ state gap from 15 to 23 points. Chronic absenteeism, by contrast, improved from 38% in 2021–2022 to 15% in 2025–2026, below the state’s 18% and district’s 15%. SchoolDigger places Twin Lakes at the 13th percentile statewide with 1 star in 2025–2026, the lowest percentile among nearby schools with reported rankings. Context includes a student-teacher ratio of 18.7 in 2024–2025, fourth-lowest among 11 nearby schools, and 89% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s group rankings also show notable changes: Special Education Students’ ranking for how well the school serves them fell from the 29th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 9th in 2025–2026; English Language Learner Students’ ranking fell from the 51st percentile in 2021–2022 to the 17th in 2023–2024.
