Summary

Coolidge Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 232 students in the San Gabriel Unified district, operating in a competitive educational landscape near several highly-rated schools.

Academically, Coolidge performs near or slightly above California state averages in core subjects, with about 47% of students proficient in both English and Math. However, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, and it performs below other schools in its own district, such as Wilson Elementary. The school serves a student population with a high level of economic need, with over 65% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Notably, the school spends more per student than most nearby schools, including higher-performing ones in neighboring districts like Carver Elementary in San Marino Unified or Marengo Elementary in South Pasadena Unified.

Key challenges include significant performance gaps for specific student groups, such as special education students, and uneven results across grade levels. A positive recent development is a major improvement in chronic absenteeism, which dropped from 23.5% to 8.9% in two years. For families, the school's context is defined by its proximity to some of the state's top elementary schools, which presents both a benchmark for comparison and a potential opportunity for learning effective strategies to support all students.
