Summary

Elderberry Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 544 students in the Ontario-Montclair School District, and it stands out for its strong and steady academic improvement, especially in mathematics, and its remarkable success in getting students to school regularly.

The school's math scores are a particular strength, significantly outperforming both the district and state averages, which is an impressive achievement. This strength is even more notable when compared to several nearby schools with similar student populations, such as Kingsley Elementary and Mission Elementary. Furthermore, Elderberry has achieved a dramatic turnaround in student attendance, reducing chronic absenteeism to just 7.2%, a rate lower than most surrounding schools and a likely contributor to its rising academic scores. The data also shows the school is exceptionally effective in supporting its English Language Learners and students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with these groups performing well above state averages.

While math is a clear strength, the school's English Language Arts and science scores, though improving, remain an area for continued growth compared to the state average. When looking at other local options, schools like Monte Vista Elementary and Buena Vista Arts-Integrated show higher overall proficiency, but they also serve student populations with different needs. Overall, Elderberry Elementary demonstrates a consistent pattern of improvement, operates efficiently with its resources, and provides particularly effective instruction in mathematics and for vulnerable student groups within the Ontario-Montclair district.
