Summary:
The Great Valley Academy District in Modesto, California, contains a single elementary school, Great Valley Academy, which serves grades K-8. The analysis of this school's data reveals several areas of concern, including below-average academic performance, a declining school ranking, high chronic absenteeism, and a significant proportion of students from low-income families.
Great Valley Academy's Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are generally below the state averages across all grade levels. The school's proficiency rates in Science (CAST) are also below the state averages for 5th and 8th grade. Overall, the school's SBA ELA proficiency rate is 37.48%, compared to the state average of 47.04%, and its SBA Mathematics proficiency rate is 35.13%, compared to the state average of 35.54%.
The school's ranking has declined over the past three years, from 2743 in 2021-2022 to 3267 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.2% and a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 38.84%, indicating a significant proportion of students from low-income families. These findings suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.
