Coronita Elementary, Corona CA - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Coronita Elementary

Coronita Elementary is a kindergarten-through-sixth-grade school in Corona, a large suburban city in northwestern Riverside County. The school serves a small enrollment, with a student body that is predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged. An overwhelming share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the economic circumstances of the families the school serves.

The school's state test results from this year show proficiency rates well below the state standard across both English language arts and mathematics. In ELA, students in grades three through six show proficiency rates in the mid-30s for grades three, four, and six, but drop to the high 20s in grade five. Math performance is notably weaker across all tested grades, ranging from the low to high 20s in grades three and four, falling to single digits in grade five, and recovering slightly to the high teens in grade six. Science results from the CAASPP California Science Test show proficiency at a very low rate in fifth grade. Taken together, these results place the school below the midpoint in overall proficiency when compared to other districts in Riverside County. A parent may want to look into the school's approach to addressing these gaps, particularly in mathematics, and to understand what support systems are in place for students who are not yet meeting grade-level standards.

The school's context is worth understanding. Corona itself is growing, with new housing development ongoing across affordable, market-rate, and rental communities. The city has a mix of historic residential areas and newer master-planned neighborhoods, and it is home to manufacturing, healthcare, and retail employment. Metrolink stations provide commuter rail access toward the Orange County and Inland Empire lines. The school sits in a city where downtown is undergoing revitalization and the wider community is expanding.

Coronita serves students whose families face economic constraints; the proficiency gaps evident in test scores may reflect broader factors of student readiness, instructional capacity, or resource intensity that a parent or resident should explore directly with the school. The school maintains Club Hope as an activity for students. No data on graduation rate, chronic absenteeism, discipline, or specialized programs such as English learner enrollment or special education were available to characterize the school's environment further. A prospective family would benefit from visiting the school, speaking with current families and staff, and asking what academic interventions, family engagement, and community partnerships support student learning.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
