Summary:
The city of San Martin, California has only one school in the data set - the San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy, an elementary school serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 679 students. The school is part of the Morgan Hill Unified school district, which is ranked 740 out of 1,568 school districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy has consistently low academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, Science, and Spanish Language Arts significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade proficiency rate in ELA/Literacy was 14.29%, compared to 39.5% for the district and 42.8% for the state. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.5%, which may be contributing to the low academic performance.
Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (57%), indicating a relatively low-income student population. This socioeconomic factor may be linked to the school's academic challenges, as students from low-income families often face additional barriers to educational success. The combination of low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of students from low-income families suggests that the San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address these issues and improve outcomes for its students.
