Summary

Landau Elementary serves 579 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Cathedral City, within Palm Springs Unified. Its 2025–2026 results were mixed: it was above the district in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, but below the state in ELA and science. The clearest strength is math: Landau had the highest proficiency among the 10 nearby K–5 schools, at 39%, although its strong overall result was concentrated in grade 3.

Compared with nearby schools, Landau was strongest in math, where 39% were proficient versus a local average of 27%; its grade 3 math result was 68%, but grades 4 and 5 were lower, at 31% and 24%. ELA was more middle-of-the-pack locally: 40% proficient, fourth among 10 schools and above the local average of 35%, but 9 points below the state. Science was 26%, around the nearby average of 25% and 6 points above the district, yet 10 points below the state. Chronic absenteeism is another concern: 29% of Landau students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, compared with 18% statewide.

ELA and math have improved over four years: each rose about 8 percentage points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026. Science fell about 5 points over that span, despite a recent increase from 21% to 26%. SchoolDigger rated Landau at the 46th statewide percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026, up from the 40th percentile the prior year but below its 52nd-percentile standing in 2021–2022. Its 19.7 student-teacher ratio was close to the nearby average of 19.9. In 2024–2025, 94% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, above the nearby average of 92%; California is also identified as a statewide free-meals state. SchoolDigger’s group rankings showed a relative strength for English Language Learner Students: the school ranked at the 65th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with its overall 41st percentile that year. For Special Education Students, it ranked at the 28th percentile in 2025–2026, below its overall 46th percentile.
