Summary:
The city of Arvin, California is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While a few schools, such as Grow Academy Arvin and Haven Drive Middle, demonstrate stronger academic performance, the majority of schools in the Kern High and Arvin Union districts face significant challenges.
Grow Academy Arvin, a public charter elementary/middle school, stands out with relatively high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to other schools in the area. Meanwhile, Haven Drive Middle has the highest performance in the data set, with the best proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 7th and 8th grade students. However, the majority of schools struggle academically, with most falling well below state averages in proficiency rates.
Across the district, schools face high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 16.9% to 26.1%, which likely impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, all schools have very high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges facing the Arvin community. Addressing these issues, improving instructional quality, and supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds will be critical to driving better outcomes for the Arvin school system.
