Summary:
The city of Santa Nella, California has only one school, Romero Elementary, which serves grades K-5 and is part of the Gustine Unified School District. Romero Elementary struggles academically, with proficiency rates on standardized tests consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism and a predominantly low-income student population, with 82.63% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Romero Elementary's academic performance is a significant concern, with 5th-grade proficiency rates in Mathematics at just 13.79% in 2023-2024, compared to the district's 8.33% and the state's 35.02%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 31.6% in the 2022-2023 school year is also much higher than the state average, which may be contributing to the low academic outcomes.
While Romero Elementary is the only school in the data set for Santa Nella, the information provided suggests that the school faces substantial challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Addressing the academic performance, attendance issues, and socioeconomic factors will likely require a comprehensive, collaborative approach involving the school, district, and community partners to develop and implement effective strategies for improvement.
