Summary

Hollingworth Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 382 students in West Covina, part of the Rowland Unified School District, and it operates with significantly higher funding per student than its neighbors while facing challenges with student attendance and academic performance.

The school's academic results, ranking in the 40th percentile statewide, are below both district and state averages in English, math, and science. A major challenge is chronic absenteeism, with 28.5% of students missing significant school, a rate nearly double the district average and much higher than top-performing nearby schools like Stanley G. Oswalt Academy (7.0%) and Walnut Elementary (4.4%). Interestingly, Hollingworth spends over $27,000 per student, which is 51% to 109% more than other local schools, yet this high investment has not led to proportionally higher test scores.

Despite these challenges, Hollingworth has shown a notable strength in effectively teaching English Language Learners. The school's performance also varies greatly by grade, with sixth graders performing much better in English than younger students. For context, within just a few miles, parents will find a wide range of school performance, from Walnut Elementary (93rd percentile) in the Walnut Valley Unified district to Yorbita Elementary (13th percentile) in its own district, highlighting how district boundaries can impact educational outcomes.
