Summary:
The city of Buttonwillow, California has only one public school serving students - Buttonwillow Elementary, which is part of the Buttonwillow Union Elementary school district. Based on the available data, Buttonwillow Elementary does not appear to be a standout school, as its academic performance is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas.
Buttonwillow Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the state average, often by 20 percentage points or more. The school's highest proficiency rate is in 8th grade ELA at 56.76%, but this is still well below the state average of 45.95%. The school's lowest proficiency rates are in 5th grade Mathematics (0%) and 5th grade Science (0%), which are significantly below the state averages of 35.02% and 32.68%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 33.6%, which may contribute to its poor academic performance.
Given Buttonwillow Elementary's consistently low performance and high chronic absenteeism rate, it is clear that the school is in need of targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes. The school's low statewide ranking, placing it in the bottom 5% of elementary schools in California, and its 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, further emphasize the need for significant improvements to provide students with a high-quality education.
