Summary

Emma W. Shuey Elementary is a K–6 school with 450 students in Rosemead, California, and is part of the Rosemead Elementary district. SchoolDigger ranks it in the 75th percentile statewide and gives it 4 stars for 2025–2026. The main takeaway is that students’ results are above California’s in all three tested subjects, but the school’s advantage is now especially slim in science.

Math is the clearest strength: 56% of students were proficient, 18 percentage points above the state and 2 points above the district; the school ranked third among nine nearby K–6 schools with comparable grade spans. ELA proficiency was 57%, 8 points above the state but 1 point below the district, also third locally. Science was weaker by comparison: 37% were proficient, just 1 point above the state and 6 points below the district. The school ranked fourth locally in science, though it was slightly above the nearby-school average. These comparisons show strong local standing in math and ELA, with science the most notable gap against the district.

Results have declined since 2022–2023: ELA fell from 64% to 57%, math from 62% to 56%, and science from 48% to 37%. The school’s advantage over the state narrowed in each subject, most sharply in science, from 18 points to 1 point. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile also slipped from 84 in 2021–2022 through 2023–2024 to 75 in 2025–2026. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 21.4, toward the higher end of the nearby range of 18.1–23.4. Free/reduced lunch eligible students made up 70% in 2024–2025; because California is a statewide-free-meals state, this eligibility measure does not indicate access to meals. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings point to especially high standing for English Language Learner Students, at the 98th percentile in 2023–2024, while its 2025–2026 ranking for Asian Students was the 35th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 75th.
