Public Grades 3-8

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 2,761 California Middle Schools

Better than 20% of California middle schools

Summary

Twin Lakes Elementary is a public middle school serving 502 students in grades 3-8 in El Monte, CA, operating within the Mountain View Elementary district, which is ranked in the bottom 19% of all California districts.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with only about 29% of students proficient in English and 20% in math, placing it well below state averages and earning it a consistent 1-star rating. This is particularly notable because Twin Lakes spends more per student (nearly $27,000) than most nearby schools, yet achieves lower results; for example, Cloverly Elementary spends about $10,000 less per student but has over 70% proficiency in English. Performance also varies wildly by grade, with 5th graders performing near state averages while 3rd and 7th graders fall far behind, suggesting inconsistent teaching or curriculum support across different levels.

Despite the academic struggles, the school has made impressive progress in one key area: chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 38% to 15% in recent years, which is now better than several nearby middle schools like Sparks Middle and Olive Middle. Furthermore, science scores are a relative strength, outperforming the district average. The school serves a high-need population, similar to higher-performing schools like the BP STEM Academy and Sierra Vista Middle, indicating that demographic challenges do not necessarily prevent better academic outcomes.
