Summary

De Anza Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 692 students in the San Jacinto Unified district, a high-need area where the school has shown notable academic improvement in recent years.

This school stands out for its strength in mathematics, where its 28.5% proficiency rate is the highest among most San Jacinto Unified elementary schools, only slightly behind Cawston Elementary from the neighboring Hemet Unified district. De Anza is particularly effective with special education students and has made dramatic progress in improving attendance, cutting chronic absenteeism by more than half since 2022, now performing better in this area than nearby schools like Park Hill Elementary and Estudillo Elementary.

While De Anza is a relative bright spot in a district facing systemic challenges, it has areas for growth, especially in science and in supporting its 5th graders, where math scores dip significantly. The school's positive trajectory, lower student-teacher ratio, and success in serving vulnerable student populations make it a school that is improving and outperforming many of its local peers with similar demographics.
