Summary:
The 91746 zip code area is home to 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Bassett Unified School District except for Puente Hills High, which is part of the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District. While some schools like Edgewood Academy and Bassett Senior High are performing relatively well, others like Sunkist Elementary and Nueva Vista Continuation High struggle with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism.
Edgewood Academy stands out as the top-performing elementary school, ranking in the top 2,000 in California and earning 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. It has strong test scores, with 51-64% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 27-56% proficient in Math. Don Julian Elementary is another high-performing school, ranking in the top 3,000 in the state with 38-53% proficiency in ELA and 23-38% in Math. At the high school level, Bassett Senior High has a strong 91.1% 4-year graduation rate and 55-59% proficiency in 11th grade ELA, outperforming the district and state averages.
The data highlights the significant socioeconomic challenges facing these schools, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 72.2% to 93.7%. This likely contributes to the lower academic outcomes seen at some campuses, underscoring the importance of targeted interventions and support to ensure all students have access to a quality education. The presence of an alternative high school, Nueva Vista Continuation High, also suggests a need for specialized programs to support students who may not thrive in a traditional high school setting.
