Summary:
The Grow Academy Shafter is the sole elementary school in the Grow Academy Shafter District, serving grades K-8 with an enrollment of 801 students. The district as a whole is ranked 784 out of 1,568 districts in California and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
While Grow Academy Shafter's performance on standardized tests is generally lower than the state averages, particularly in mathematics and science, the school has shown some improvement over the past three years, with its statewide ranking increasing from 3,253 in 2021-2022 to 2,822 in 2023-2024. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate and high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggest that it serves a population of students who may face socioeconomic challenges, which could be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance. Additionally, the school's higher student-teacher ratio compared to the state average may also be a factor in its lower academic performance.
Despite the challenges, the data suggests that Grow Academy Shafter is making efforts to improve. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to help the school better support its students and close the achievement gap.
