Summary

Orangewood Elementary is a K-5 public school serving about 580 students in the West Covina Unified district, performing around the state average with notable strengths in science and student attendance.

The school truly shines in science, where student proficiency significantly outpaces both the district and state averages, and it has made impressive strides in improving daily attendance, now boasting a much lower rate of chronic absenteeism than most schools in the area. While its reading and math scores are close to the state average, it shows particular effectiveness in supporting students with disabilities and those experiencing homelessness, and it achieves these outcomes with lower per-student spending than several neighboring schools like Wescove Elementary and Edgewood Academy.

Parents should note that performance varies by grade, with fourth grade appearing as an area for potential growth, and a consistent performance gap exists between female and male students. The school also operates in a competitive local landscape, as the exceptionally high-performing San Jose Charter Academy is located less than half a mile away. Overall, Orangewood represents a solid, efficiently managed choice within West Covina Unified, distinguished by its science program and strong record on attendance.
