Summary

Emma W. Shuey Elementary is a consistently high-performing K-6 public school serving 450 students in the Rosemead Elementary district, ranking in the top 20% of all California elementary schools.

Shuey stands out for its exceptional effectiveness in supporting English Language Learners and students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, achieving results for these groups that rank in the top 10% statewide. Academically, the school outperforms both district and state averages, with mathematics being a particular strength. While the school's chronic absenteeism rate is better than the state average, it is an area noted for potential improvement compared to some district peers like Mildred B. Janson Elementary. A notable internal trend is a consistent performance gap where female students outperform male students, a pattern more pronounced here than at many nearby schools.

Compared to other local schools with similar student demographics, such as McKinley Elementary, Shuey achieves significantly higher test scores. The school maintains stable, high performance year after year, though nearby options like the Duff Language Magnet Academy in the Garvey Elementary district serve as a high-achieving benchmark. Shuey's higher per-student spending appears connected to its strong outcomes, especially for its most vulnerable students, cementing its reputation as a standout and effective school in the community.
