Summary:
This analysis examines four elementary schools serving grades K-5 or K-6 in zip code 91775, located in San Gabriel, California, which operate within the Temple City Unified and San Gabriel Unified districts.
Emperor Elementary stands out as the top performer, ranking in the 87th percentile statewide with the highest proficiency rates in English and math among these schools, while also having the lowest chronic absenteeism and largest enrollment. Wilson Elementary shows impressive improvement and excels in mathematics, boasting the very lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 3.8%. In contrast, Coolidge Elementary faces significant challenges, with the lowest academic rankings and proficiency rates despite having the highest per-student spending and smallest class sizes in the group.
An interesting finding is the inverse relationship between spending and results, with the highest-spending school having the weakest outcomes. There is also a noticeable district performance gap, as the single school in Temple City Unified outperforms the three schools in San Gabriel Unified. Attendance strongly correlates with achievement, and Washington Elementary, which serves the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students, demonstrates mid-range performance, suggesting effective support systems are in place.
