Summary:
The city of Valley Springs, California is home to three schools - two elementary schools (Jenny Lind Elementary and Valley Springs Elementary) and one middle school (Toyon Middle) - all part of the Calaveras Unified school district. The data reveals a mix of academic performance, with Valley Springs Elementary standing out as the highest-performing school in the area.
Valley Springs Elementary outperforms the other schools in several key metrics, including higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science compared to the district and state averages. It also has a lower student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its stronger academic outcomes. In contrast, Toyon Middle School struggles, with relatively low proficiency rates across all subjects and the highest chronic absenteeism rate among the three schools.
The data also highlights socioeconomic challenges faced by the schools, with all three having a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the district may need to focus on targeted support and resources for these students, such as academic interventions, social-emotional learning programs, or family outreach, to help address the disparities in performance and improve educational outcomes for all students in the Valley Springs area.
