Summary:

The 91801 zip code in Alhambra, CA, is served by six schools within the Alhambra Unified district, including four K-8 elementary schools and two high schools, with no traditional middle schools.

Overall, schools in this area perform well above state averages, particularly in graduation rates and English proficiency. Mark Keppel High stands out as the top performer with a 91st percentile state ranking and exceptionally low chronic absenteeism, while Granada Elementary is an outlier with the lowest test scores and highest absenteeism despite having the highest per-student spending. Martha Baldwin Elementary and Alhambra High are consistent, above-average performers within the district.

Key insights show a strong link between low chronic absenteeism and high academic performance across all schools. Mathematics proficiency is a relative challenge compared to English scores, and both high schools excel, with graduation rates near 95%. The district's use of K-8 schools instead of separate middle schools is a notable structural feature, and the performance gap at Granada Elementary suggests factors beyond funding significantly impact student outcomes.
