Summary

Lida M. Henry Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 391 students in the Rialto Unified district, operating in a high-need community where the vast majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the school's overall academic ranking is in the lower half of California schools, it has two standout strengths compared to nearby schools. First, its students excel in science, scoring significantly higher in proficiency than the district and state averages and outperforming schools like J. Calvin Boyd Elementary and Sam V. Curtis Elementary by a wide margin. Second, the school has made dramatic progress in improving student attendance, cutting its chronic absenteeism rate by more than half over three years to a rate that is now better than the district average and on par with the state, unlike higher rates at Merle S. Casey Elementary and Levi Bemis Elementary.

The school operates with more funding per student than most others in the district and has a history of strong results for English Language Learners. However, academic performance has varied from year to year, and there are significant challenges, particularly for students in special education. Compared to other Rialto Unified schools, such as Helen L. Dollahan Elementary and Winn A. Myers Elementary, Henry's overall ranking is lower, placing it in the middle tier of schools in the area.
