Summary:
The 91765 zip code area is home to 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, spread across the Walnut Valley Unified and Pomona Unified school districts. The data reveals a stark contrast in performance between the two districts, with the Walnut Valley schools consistently outperforming the state averages on standardized tests, while the Pomona Unified schools lag behind.
The standout schools in the area include Diamond Bar High School, which ranks in the top 5% of California high schools, has a 97.3% 4-year graduation rate, and outperforms the state and district averages on standardized tests. Other top performers are Chaparral Middle School, which ranks in the top 2% of California middle schools, and Quail Summit Elementary and Maple Hill Elementary, both of which rank in the top 3% of California elementary schools.
The data also highlights the importance of socioeconomic factors, with the Walnut Valley Unified schools serving a more economically advantaged population and having lower rates of free/reduced lunch and chronic absenteeism compared to the Pomona Unified schools. This suggests that addressing these underlying issues may be key to improving academic performance in the lower-performing schools in the area.
