Elementary Schools in Farmersville Unified

The Farmersville Unified School District in California is home to two elementary schools: J.E. Hester Elementary and George L. Snowden Elementary. Both schools serve students from kindergarten through 6th grade and face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their predominantly low-income student populations.

The data reveals that both J.E. Hester Elementary and George L. Snowden Elementary have relatively low performance metrics compared to state averages. Chronic absenteeism rates are high, with J.E. Hester Elementary at 40.9% and George L. Snowden Elementary at 27.0%. Both schools also have very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with J.E. Hester Elementary at 89.87% and George L. Snowden Elementary at 91.15%. Academically, the schools perform significantly below the state average in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 17.58% to 24.22%.

While George L. Snowden Elementary performs slightly better than the district and state averages in the CSA Spanish/Reading/Language Arts assessments, with a 3rd-grade proficiency rate of 25%, the overall data suggests that the Farmersville Unified School District is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Addressing the high poverty levels, chronic absenteeism, and low academic performance will be crucial for improving educational outcomes in the district.
