Summary

Field (Eugene) Elementary is a standout K-5 public school serving 449 students in the Pasadena Unified district, known for its remarkable transformation into one of the highest-performing schools in the area.

The school's academic results are exceptional, with students scoring 28 to 40 points higher in English, math, and science than the district average, creating the largest performance gap among local Pasadena Unified schools. It achieves this while spending less per student than peers like Webster Elementary or Willard Elementary. Field is particularly effective in supporting economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 96th percentile statewide for this group. Furthermore, student engagement is very strong, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.3%, far below the district average of 23.8%.

Field's success story is clear: it improved from the 36th to the 93rd percentile statewide over the past decade. While nearby Don Benito Fundamental ranks significantly lower, Field competes impressively with top schools in wealthier neighboring districts like Carver Elementary in San Marino Unified. An interesting note is that male students consistently outperform female students here, which is an uncommon pattern. The school shows strong English growth through the grades, though there is a noted dip in 5th-grade math scores that may be an area of focus.
