Summary:
The city of Coarsegold, California is home to two elementary schools: Rivergold Elementary and Coarsegold Elementary. Based on the available data, Rivergold Elementary appears to be the stronger performing school between the two, with a higher statewide ranking, better academic proficiency rates, and lower chronic absenteeism.
Rivergold Elementary has a statewide ranking around the 3,000-4,000 range out of over 5,800 California elementary schools, while Coarsegold Elementary ranks in the 5,000-5,600 range. Rivergold Elementary also has a higher percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics across most grade levels, compared to Coarsegold Elementary and the Yosemite Unified district average. Additionally, Rivergold Elementary has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 39.9% compared to Coarsegold Elementary's 47.1%.
However, both schools are underperforming compared to state averages in academic proficiency, suggesting room for improvement in the district's educational outcomes. The higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Coarsegold Elementary, indicating a lower socioeconomic status, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. Overall, the data highlights the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the performance gaps and socioeconomic disparities between the two schools, as well as the broader challenges facing the Yosemite Unified School District.
