Summary:
Five Alhambra Unified elementary schools in ZIP code 91801 serve kindergarten through eighth grade. As a group, their 2025–26 results were above state results in all three subjects: about 11 percentage points in English language arts (ELA), 13 points in math and 9 points in science. But results vary considerably among schools, and Granada Elementary is the clearest concern: it is the only school below the state in all three subjects, especially in science.
The strongest results differ by subject: William Northrup Elementary leads ELA at 66%, Martha Baldwin Elementary leads math at 61%, and Park Elementary leads science at 55%. Northrup is also second in math, while Park is second in ELA but fourth in math. At the other end, Granada scores 47% in ELA, 37% in math and 24% in science—about 16, 18 and 26 points below the other four schools’ respective averages. Its fifth-grade results are especially weak: 19% in ELA, 4% in math and 11% in science, each well below the state. In contrast, Granada’s third-grade ELA and math results are above state results.
Across the five schools, average results rose from 2024–25 to 2025–26 by about 2 points in ELA, 2 in math and 5 in science, improving more than the state in each subject. Changes were uneven: Park’s science score jumped 16 points, while its math fell 2; Martha Baldwin’s science fell 4 points, and Garfield Elementary’s ELA fell 5. SchoolDigger ranks Northrup highest in this group, at the 84th statewide percentile, and Granada lowest, at the 48th. The schools’ 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible figures range from 45% to 55%; Granada is highest, while the other four cluster around 45%–47%. Student-teacher ratios range from 17.1 at Granada to 25.3 at Martha Baldwin, but these figures do not by themselves explain school results.
