Summary

Encinita Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 418 students in the Rosemead Elementary district, which is a highly-rated district in the 79th percentile statewide.

The school has a remarkable strength in student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 2.8%, which is far better than the state average and nearby schools like Savannah Elementary (20.0%) and Dewey Avenue Elementary (17.3%). It also shows particularly strong support for English Language Learners, who score in the 80th percentile. However, the school faces a significant challenge in science, with a proficiency rate of only 6.98%, which is much lower than other schools in its district such as Mildred B. Janson Elementary (57.65%) and Emma W. Shuey Elementary (47.17%).

Encinita spends more per student ($23,812) than other schools in its district but has lower overall academic scores, indicating its resources may be allocated differently. Performance varies widely by grade, with 4th grade excelling while 6th grade struggles. Compared to the high-performing La Rosa Elementary less than a mile away, Encinita has lower proficiency rates in English and math despite similar spending and a strong focus on attendance, suggesting there are other factors influencing academic outcomes.
