Summary:
The city of Chualar, California has only one public elementary school, Chualar Elementary, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 278 students. The school is part of the Chualar Union District, which is ranked 798 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Chualar Elementary has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking over the past three school years, dropping from 3,658 out of 5,883 in 2021-2022 to 2,787 out of 5,862 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school's performance may be declining relative to other California elementary schools. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.5%, which is much higher than the state average and could be a contributing factor to the school's declining performance.
Academically, Chualar Elementary has mixed results. While the school's 5th-grade ELA and math proficiency rates are above the state average, the overall ELA and math proficiency rates are below the state average. This indicates there may be room for improvement, particularly in the lower grades. Furthermore, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 90.65% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 19.1 to 1, which could present additional challenges for the school in terms of student support and resources.
