Best Public Schools in San Gabriel, CA

Summary:

The city of San Gabriel, California, is home to 12 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 4 high schools. The data reveals a diverse range of academic performance across these schools, with some standouts like Gabrielino High School and Emperor Elementary consistently ranking among the top schools in the state, while others, such as Del Mar High, struggle with lower graduation rates and test scores.

The data highlights the importance of addressing the achievement gap within the San Gabriel Unified District. While the top-performing schools demonstrate exceptional academic outcomes, the lower-performing schools face challenges with chronic absenteeism and low proficiency rates in core subjects. Factors such as student-teacher ratios and free/reduced lunch rates appear to play a role in the disparities observed across the district.

Despite the contrasts, the San Gabriel Unified District as a whole is performing well, with several of its schools, including Gabrielino High and Jefferson Middle, ranking among the top in the state. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to the achievement gap and implementing targeted interventions could help elevate the performance of all schools within the district.
