Summary

Yorbita Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 374 students in La Puente, California, within the Rowland Unified School District, and it faces significant academic challenges with proficiency rates well below state and district averages.

The school's performance, ranking in the bottom 13th percentile statewide, is notably lower than many nearby schools in the same district, such as Jellick Elementary and Telesis Academy of Science & Math, which serve similar student populations but achieve much higher results. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, with over a quarter of students missing significant school, a rate higher than most neighboring schools including Rorimer Elementary and Villacorta Elementary.

While the school has a favorable student-teacher ratio and its funding has increased, academic outcomes have declined, with particular struggles in upper grade levels and for English Language Learners. The success of other high-needs schools in the area demonstrates that improvement is possible, suggesting Yorbita may benefit from focusing on attendance and instructional consistency.
