Summary:

Zip code 91733 contains one public high school, South El Monte High, serving grades 9-12 within the El Monte Union High district.

This school demonstrates clear strengths in supporting its students through to graduation, with a 92.6% graduation rate and a very low 1.9% dropout rate, both figures outperforming the district and state averages significantly. It also excels in English Language Arts, where student proficiency surpasses the California state average. These are notable achievements that indicate a strong foundation in literacy and student support systems.

The most significant area for improvement is in mathematics and science proficiency, where scores are substantially below state averages. This academic gap is the primary reason the school's statewide ranking has recently declined. While the school's per-student spending is high, these resources have not yet translated to improved outcomes in these core subjects, presenting a key focus for the school's future efforts to ensure students are prepared for their next steps after high school.
