Summary:
The city of Groveland, California is home to two schools - Tenaya Elementary and Tioga High, both part of the Big Oak Flat-Groveland Unified school district. The data reveals concerning trends in the academic performance, attendance, and graduation rates at these schools, indicating significant challenges in providing a high-quality education for the students.
Tenaya Elementary has relatively low performance on standardized tests, with proficiency rates below the state and district averages in most subjects and grade levels. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 48.5% and a high percentage of students (58.1%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high-need student population. Similarly, Tioga High has low performance on standardized tests, with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages in most subjects and grade levels. The school also has a concerning graduation rate of only 61.1% and a high dropout rate of 27.8%, as well as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 58.8%.
The consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and attendance and graduation challenges at both schools indicate significant areas for improvement. These issues may be exacerbated by the high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds at the schools, which can present additional challenges in terms of resources, support, and educational outcomes. Addressing these concerns should be a priority for the district and school leaders to ensure that all students in Groveland have access to a strong educational foundation.
