Elementary Schools in Pasadena Unified


Summary:

The Pasadena Unified School District in California contains 14 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The schools in this district exhibit a wide range of academic performance, with some ranking among the top 10-15% of elementary schools in the state and others struggling in the bottom 10-20%.

The top-performing elementary schools in Pasadena Unified include Sierra Madre Elementary, Field (Eugene) Elementary, and Hamilton Elementary. These schools boast exceptional test scores, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that often exceed the state and district averages by 20-30 percentage points. In contrast, Madison Elementary, Washington Elementary STEM Magnet, and McKinley are among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the district, with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages.

The data suggests a strong correlation between a school's academic performance and its socioeconomic factors, such as free/reduced lunch rates. The top-performing schools have relatively low free/reduced lunch rates, while the lower-performing schools have much higher rates. Additionally, there appears to be an inverse relationship between chronic absenteeism and academic performance, with the schools exhibiting the lowest chronic absenteeism rates also being the top-performing schools. Overall, the Pasadena Unified School District as a whole is performing around the state average, but with significant variability in the quality of education provided across its elementary schools.
