Summary

Magnolia Elementary is a K–6 school in Riverside, California, with 535 students in Riverside Unified. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates were above both the state and district in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The clearest takeaway is its unusually strong local standing: it had the highest nearby-school results in ELA and science.

Magnolia was strong across subjects compared with state and district results: ELA proficiency was 53%, versus 49% statewide and 47% districtwide; math was 40%, versus 38% and 34%; and science was 38%, versus 36% and 32%. Its ELA and science results were also about 13 percentage points above nearby-school averages, while math was about 6 points above the nearby average and ranked third locally. The main weakness is less even math performance in the upper grades: fourth-grade math was 39%, 4 points below the state, while fifth- and sixth-grade math were each 36%, about 1 point below. By contrast, ELA results led nearby schools in grades four through six.

Results have risen since 2022–23—ELA by 11 percentage points, math by 3, and science by 16—but each subject fell from its 2024–25 result, by 7, 1, and 6 points, respectively. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 63rd statewide percentile with 3 stars for 2025–26, the highest percentile among the nearby schools, though down from the 70th percentile the prior year. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 25.1, compared with a nearby average of 24.1. In 2024–25, 73% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, below the nearby average of 79%. Chronic absenteeism also improved, falling from 37% in 2021–22 to 14% in 2025–26, below the district’s 17% and the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for English Language Learner Students rose from the 49th percentile in 2018–19 to the 78th in 2023–24, while its ranking for Special Education Students fell from the 74th percentile in 2023–24 to the 52nd in 2025–26.
