Summary

Newhall Elementary is a public K-6 school serving 493 students in the Newhall area, which is part of a generally high-performing district, but the school itself has seen a significant decline in its academic ranking in recent years.

Currently, the school's performance in English, math, and science is 35 to 40 percentage points below the district average, creating the largest academic gap among nearby schools. While the school serves a community with significant economic need, other schools with similar profiles, like Dr. J. Michael McGrath Elementary and Wiley Canyon Elementary, perform notably better. Interestingly, Newhall Elementary spends more per student than several top-performing schools in the area, such as Meadows Elementary and Valencia Valley Elementary.

The school shows strengths in supporting English Language Learners, but faces urgent challenges, particularly for students in special education, whose performance has dropped sharply. Academic proficiency also tends to decline in the upper grades, suggesting learning gaps may widen over time. Compared to its high-achieving neighbors, Newhall Elementary represents a clear case where district success does not automatically translate to every school, indicating a need for targeted improvements in instruction and support.
