Summary

El Camino Elementary is a K–6 school in Ontario, California, serving 476 students in the Ontario-Montclair district. Its results are uneven: math is now above the state average, while English language arts (ELA) is below it and science is substantially lower. The clearest takeaway is that math is the school’s strongest subject, while science is its most serious academic concern.

In 2025–2026, 42% of students were proficient in math, compared with 38% statewide and 37% in the district; the result was close to the nearby-school average of 41%. ELA proficiency was 43%, below the nearby-school average of 47%, placing the school seventh among 11 local schools. Science was weaker: 24% were proficient, compared with 36% statewide, 27% in the district and a 31% nearby-school average; the school ranked ninth of 11. Results also vary by grade. Sixth-grade ELA was a bright spot at 61%, 13 points above the state and 11 above the district, while third-grade ELA was 26%, 18 points below the state. Fifth-grade math was another weak area at 27%, 10 points below the state.

Results have improved most in math: proficiency rose 15 percentage points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, while ELA increased 9 points. Science was essentially flat, slipping by less than 1 point, and its gap with the state widened. SchoolDigger ranks the school 2,718th of 5,804 California schools, at the 53rd percentile with 3 stars. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 18.3, the second-lowest among nearby schools with reported figures. In 2024–2025, 90% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the third-highest rate nearby. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is its 77th-percentile ranking for how well it serves Special Education Students, compared with its overall 53rd percentile. Chronic absenteeism also fell substantially, from 42% in 2021–2022 to 13% in 2025–2026, though the latest rate remained 5 points above the district’s.
