El Monte City

Summary:

The El Monte City school district in California consists of 15 elementary schools serving grades K-8. While the district as a whole is ranked 622 out of 1,568 school districts in the state and rated 3 out of 5 stars, a few standout schools are performing significantly above the district and state averages.

Legore Elementary and Gidley Elementary are the top-performing schools, ranked 1,682 and 1,273 out of 5,862 California elementary schools respectively, with 4-star ratings. These schools have impressive proficiency rates, with over 70% of 3rd graders and 55% of 4th graders scoring proficient or better in ELA and math.

Addressing these equity and access issues could be crucial steps in driving improvement and ensuring all students have the opportunity to succeed across the El Monte City school district.
