Summary:
The city of Santa Ynez, California is home to 3 elementary schools: Santa Ynez Elementary, Santa Ynez Valley Charter, and College Elementary. These schools serve students from diverse backgrounds and have varying levels of academic performance and student engagement.
Santa Ynez Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, with strong test scores, a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate, and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Santa Ynez Valley Charter has shown significant improvement in its statewide ranking over the past 3 years, but still struggles with a higher chronic absenteeism rate and lower Mathematics proficiency. College Elementary, the smallest school with only 30 students, has the lowest student-teacher ratio but also the highest chronic absenteeism rate among the schools.
The data highlights the importance of considering multiple factors, such as test scores, chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic status, when evaluating school performance. The differences in performance and student demographics among the schools suggest that the Santa Ynez community may benefit from further analysis to understand the underlying factors contributing to these variations and identify opportunities for improvement across the College Elementary and Santa Ynez Valley Charter District.
