Best Public Schools in Pinedale, CA

Summary:

The city of Pinedale, California is home to two elementary schools, Pinedale Elementary and Nelson Elementary, which are part of the Clovis Unified school district. Based on the data analysis, Nelson Elementary appears to be the standout school in the area, outperforming Pinedale Elementary across a range of academic metrics.

Nelson Elementary has a higher statewide ranking, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger compared to Pinedale Elementary's 1-star rating. Nelson Elementary students also perform significantly better on standardized tests, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels compared to Pinedale Elementary and the Clovis Unified School District average.

Understanding these factors could provide valuable insights for improving educational outcomes across the district.
