Summary

Eastwood Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 351 students in the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District, known historically for solid performance but currently facing some academic challenges.

Recent data shows the school's statewide ranking has declined, dropping from a 4-star to a 3-star rating, which places it in the lower-middle tier among nearby schools in its own district, performing better than John Foster Dulles Elementary and La Pluma Elementary but below others like Gardenhill Elementary (82nd percentile) and Escalona Elementary (70th percentile). While Eastwood's math scores remain a relative strength compared to district averages, test scores in English and Science are near or below state averages, and chronic absenteeism at 17.2% is higher than several neighboring schools, including Meadow Green Elementary (8.4%).

The school shows notable performance differences across grade levels and student groups, with third grade performing strongest and fifth grade weakest, particularly in science. Despite a significant increase in per-student spending in recent years, academic outcomes have dipped, highlighting a need to examine how resources are used. For context, performance varies widely across district lines, with Robert C. Fisler Elementary in the Fullerton Elementary district ranking exceptionally high, while Carl E. Gilbert Elementary in the Buena Park Elementary district ranks much lower.
