Summary:
The city of San Miguel, California is home to three elementary schools: Lillian Larsen Elementary, Pleasant Valley Elementary, and Parkfield Elementary. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 6th grade and are spread across three different school districts: San Miguel Joint Union, Pleasant Valley Joint Union Elementary, and Shandon Joint Unified.
Among the three schools, Pleasant Valley Elementary stands out as the top performer, with 64.52% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 41.94% proficient or better in Mathematics. This is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Pleasant Valley Elementary also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 10.3% and a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 13.7, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. In contrast, Lillian Larsen Elementary has lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state, as well as a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 18.4%.
Another standout school is Parkfield Elementary, which has an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 0.0% and the lowest student-teacher ratio of 10 among the three schools. However, Parkfield Elementary does not have recent test score data available, so its academic performance cannot be directly compared to the other schools. The data also reveals that Lillian Larsen Elementary has a very high free and reduced lunch rate of 76.94%, indicating a larger population of students from low-income families, which may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance.
