Jaime Escalante Elementary was established on August 16, 2010 who serve the communities of Bell, Cudahy, and Maywood. We are a Public School Choice that offers grades TK through 6th. We are excited to share some wonderful news—our school has been named a California Distinguished School! This prestigious award is given by the California Department of Education to public schools that demonstrate outstanding student achievement and a strong commitment to educational excellence.
The exceptional elementary schools recognized this year are illustrative of the persistence and promise of California’s students, educators, and schools. To select California Distinguished Schools, the California Department of Education (CDE) uses multiple measures to identify eligible schools based on their performance on the state indicators as specified on the California School Dashboard (Dashboard).
To ensure that our students graduate ready for the world, we empower them with a high-quality, rigorous college preparatory education that fosters academic excellence, principled character, visionary leadership and a lifelong love of learning.
