Summary:
This analysis covers four high-performing elementary schools (grades K-5) in the 91007 zip code of Arcadia, CA, all part of the Arcadia Unified district, which ranks in the 87th percentile statewide.
Among these excellent schools, Holly Avenue Elementary stands out for having the strongest and most consistent academic rankings and the highest English and Math proficiency, a notable achievement as it also serves the highest proportion of economically disadvantaged students in the group. Baldwin Stocker Elementary is the clear leader in Science, scoring far above the district average, while Longley Way Elementary ties for the best attendance record and has the smallest class sizes, achieving this with lower per-student spending.
Overall, these schools dramatically outperform California state averages. A point of attention is Hugo Reid Elementary, which has seen a three-year decline in its statewide ranking despite having the highest per-student spending in the set. The data shows that within this supportive district, individual school focus areas, like Baldwin Stocker's science strength or Holly Avenue's academic consistency, create distinct profiles for parents to consider.
