Summary:
The Rosemead Elementary district in California serves students from elementary through middle school, with 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The district as a whole performs above the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math assessments, but there are significant disparities in performance between the top-performing and lower-performing schools.
Mildred B. Janson Elementary and Muscatel Middle are the standout schools, consistently ranking in the top 1,000 and 500 schools in California, respectively, over the past 3 years. These schools have strong test scores, with over 65% proficiency in ELA and 55% in Math, as well as low chronic absenteeism rates. In contrast, Savannah Elementary and Encinita Elementary have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting the district may need to focus on addressing the needs of these lower-performing schools.
Across the district, the high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.6% to 78.18%, indicate a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This context is important when interpreting the academic performance data and considering strategies for support. Addressing attendance issues and leveraging the practices of the top-performing schools could be key focus areas for the district to improve overall student outcomes.
