Summary

Mildred B. Janson Elementary is a consistently high-performing K-6 public school serving 575 students in the Rosemead Elementary district, achieving strong academic results with a focus on foundational student support.

The school's most remarkable strength is its exceptional student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 1.4%, which is far better than the state average and outperforms most nearby schools, including Savannah Elementary (20.0%). This strong attendance is a key factor in its academic success, as students consistently score well above district and state averages in English, math, and science. The school is particularly effective in supporting English learners and students from low-income families, often ranking in the state's top 10% for these groups. It achieves these excellent outcomes efficiently, spending less per student than several neighboring schools with similar or lower performance, such as Emma W. Shuey Elementary.

Janson Elementary has maintained a stable 4-star rating for over a decade, showing reliable performance year after year. While the school excels overall, there are some internal performance variations, such as a consistent gap between female and male student rankings. Compared to other schools in the Rosemead Elementary district, Janson stands out for its consistent excellence alongside Emma W. Shuey Elementary, demonstrating that effective school-level practices are crucial for student success.
