of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 19% of California elementary schools

Summary

Villacorta Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 261 students in La Puente, California, as part of the Rowland Unified School District, and it faces significant academic challenges with a state ranking in the 19th percentile and proficiency rates well below district and state averages in English, math, and science.

The school serves a community with high economic need, and while it spends more per student than many nearby schools, it has a much higher student-teacher ratio and lower test scores. For example, Stanley G. Oswalt Academy, less than two miles away, ranks in the 82nd percentile with much higher proficiency, and Jellick Elementary performs significantly better despite similar demographics. However, Villacorta shows a notable strength in effectively serving its English Language Learner students, ranking in the 87th percentile for that subgroup, and has made excellent progress in reducing chronic absenteeism.

This analysis reveals that within the same district, schools with similar student populations can have very different outcomes, suggesting factors like instructional practices or school leadership play a key role. The district may benefit from looking at strategies used at higher-performing schools like Jellick Elementary to help support Villacorta and other struggling schools in the area.
