Summary

Edith Landels Elementary is a well-regarded public school serving about 400 students in grades K-5 within the Mountain View Whisman School District, consistently earning high marks that place it well above state averages in English and Math.

The school is a strong, steady performer, but its position is interesting when compared to neighbors in the same district. It sits solidly in the middle tier, outperforming schools like Mariano Castro Elementary but not reaching the exceptional heights of top-rated schools like Amy Imai Elementary or Stevenson Elementary. Notably, its chronic absenteeism rate is higher than at these comparable schools, which is an area for potential focus. The school does show a particular strength in supporting English Learner students, ranking very high in this area.

Looking at the data, the school's performance varies significantly for different groups of students, with economically disadvantaged students scoring much lower than their peers, highlighting an important equity gap. While spending per student is similar to other high-performing schools in the area, outcomes differ, suggesting other community and program factors are at play. Parents should note the school's slight, recent dip in its statewide ranking and that science scores, while good, are not as strong as those in English and Math when compared to some nearby schools.
