Summary

Emperor Elementary is a public elementary school located in San Gabriel, California, serving 631 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Temple City Unified School District, which is ranked 240 out of 1,565 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Emperor Elementary consistently ranks in the top 10-15% of California elementary schools, with exceptional academic performance. In 2024-2025, 70.72% of its students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 69.16% for the district and 48.81% for the state. The school also demonstrates strong performance for its English Language Learner and low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top 1-2% and top 10% of California elementary schools, respectively, for these subgroups. Despite a recent increase in chronic absenteeism, Emperor Elementary's rates remain lower than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools in the San Gabriel Unified and Arcadia Unified districts, Emperor Elementary outperforms them on academic measures, even with a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. This suggests the school is effectively supporting and addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged students, likely through its high per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio.
