of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 16% of California elementary schools

Summary

Elizabeth T. Hughbanks Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 436 students in the Rialto Unified district, which has experienced significant and concerning academic declines in recent years.

The school's overall performance has dropped sharply, now ranking in the bottom 16% of California elementary schools, with mathematics scores being a particular area of struggle at less than half the state average. This decline is more severe than at most nearby schools; for example, W.J.C. Trapp Elementary, less than a mile away with similar student demographics, maintains a much stronger ranking. Performance has been volatile for different groups of students, and test scores suggest students fall further behind in math as they progress through the grades, though reading scores show some improvement by 5th grade. On a positive note, the school manages student attendance better than several other schools in the district, including George H. Dunn Elementary.

Looking at the bigger picture, Hughbanks Elementary has a history of performance ups and downs over the past decade, indicating ongoing challenges. Comparisons with schools in neighboring districts like San Bernardino City Unified and Fontana Unified show that some schools with similar or even higher levels of student need achieve better academic results, suggesting that improvement is possible. For parents, this means the school is in a period of significant academic difficulty but has nearby examples, like Helen L. Dollahan Elementary which has shown recent improvement, to learn from.
