Summary:
The city of Parlier, California is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. While the majority of schools are part of the Parlier Unified district, one standout school, Riverview Elementary, is part of the Kings Canyon Joint Unified district and consistently outperforms the other schools in the area.
Within the Parlier Unified district, S Ben Benavidez Elementary stands out as a relatively high-performing school, with better test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to other schools in the district. However, the majority of Parlier Unified schools struggle, with test scores significantly below the state average and high rates of chronic absenteeism, particularly at San Joaquin Valley High, which has the lowest performance metrics in the data set.
The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance, with Riverview Elementary outpacing the Parlier Unified schools. This suggests systemic challenges within the Parlier Unified district that need to be addressed, potentially through targeted interventions and support services to address the high rates of poverty and attendance issues faced by students in the district.
