Sycamore Valley Academy District

The Sycamore Valley Academy District consists of a single elementary charter school, Sycamore Valley Academy, which serves grades K-8 in Visalia, California. While the school has some positive metrics, such as relatively high science proficiency rates, it also faces challenges, including lower-than-average proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state.

Sycamore Valley Academy has an enrollment of 392 students and a student-teacher ratio of 26.1, which may make it difficult for teachers to provide individualized attention. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.6% is also relatively high, which could impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, over 37% of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students who may require targeted support.

Overall, while Sycamore Valley Academy has some strengths, the data suggests that the school may need to focus on improving academic performance, particularly in core subject areas, and addressing challenges related to chronic absenteeism and the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. Compared to state averages, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower, with some exceptions in specific grade levels, indicating room for improvement.
