Summary:
The city of Richgrove, California has only one public school, Richgrove Elementary, which serves grades K-8 and has a total enrollment of 508 students. The school is part of the Richgrove Elementary School District.
Based on the available data, Richgrove Elementary does not appear to be a standout school. The school has consistently low rankings on the SchoolDigger statewide rankings, placing in the bottom 10% of California elementary schools for the past three school years. Additionally, the school's performance on standardized tests is well below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 13.64% to 30.91% in English Language Arts/Literacy and 3.64% to 29.23% in Mathematics.
Further analysis reveals that Richgrove Elementary faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.9%, significantly higher than the state average, and an extremely high rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 93.5%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's student-teacher ratio of 18.2 students per teacher is also slightly higher than the state average. These factors suggest that Richgrove Elementary is a struggling school that needs to address the root causes of its low performance, such as improving attendance, providing targeted academic interventions, and addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged students.
