Summary

New Temple Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 606 students in South El Monte, part of the highly-rated Valle Lindo Elementary district, and it stands out for achieving strong academic results while serving a community where many families face economic challenges.

The school's test scores in English, Math, and Science are consistently above the California state average, which is particularly impressive when compared to other nearby schools with similar student populations. For example, while Willard F. Payne Elementary and Monte Vista Elementary have much lower proficiency rates, New Temple excels at supporting specific groups, with its English Language Learners and students from low-income households ranking in the state's top percentiles. The school has also made remarkable progress in improving student attendance, cutting chronic absenteeism by more than half in just two years.

New Temple achieves these outcomes efficiently, spending less per student than several neighboring schools that have lower performance. While the school is very strong overall, areas to watch include a dip in math scores in 5th grade and a performance gap between female and male students. Among local options, only Mill School and Technology Academy shows similar academic success with a comparable student body, highlighting New Temple's role as a high-performing and resilient school in the region.
